Columnist Claims Identity Theft After
Investigating Fraud At Investment Firm

Columnist Claims Identity Theft After
Investigating Fraud At Investment Firm 02/01/2005 09:43 PM
Well known financial columnist Herb Greenberg has a fascinating article about how someone tried to snoop into his phone records. Apparently, someone pretending to be him turned on online reporting for both his Verizon cell phone and his SBC home phone. While he can't prove it, his suspicion is that it has something to do with a company he has written negatively about. The bogus online account opening occurred right after he wrote a negative article about investment firm Allied Capital. This could just be a coincidence, but once he found out that the same thing happened with both Verizon and SBC (he credits Verizon for at least sending a paper letter to his home notifying him of this -- something SBC didn't do), he called around to various sources for many different stories and asked them to check their own systems. It apparently happened to a bunch of sources -- all of whom had been investigating Allied Capital. He says he has no proof, and he knows the FBI is investigating, but as a reporter, he couldn't wait any longer and had to get the story out there.

Fraud Detection Thoughts

Fraud Detection Thoughts 03/19/2005 02:50 AM

Some problems with using individual user behavior analysis for fraud detection:

• Low ROI
• High false signals
• Bad user experiences

IMHO, it makes more sense to just give the user the means to protect themselves.  Allow user to move functionalities to areas with the desired protection level and set thresholds to the level suitable for them.

For example, divide up functions into three boxes, representing three levels of required authentication, and let the user move functions between boxes.  I would keep transaction history at far left and move money transfer to the far right which will result in e-mail confirmation for each transaction.

Much of the user chores can be alleviated by offering a set of standard account configuration packages.  For premium accounts, additional boxes could be added for more intimate verifications like a personal call from the account manager.  Hi, Don.  Are you sure you want to transfer half of your account to a russian bank?

Fighting Click Fraud

Fighting Click Fraud 07/20/2004 05:44 PM

Exposing click fraud: This is why I think that, ultimately, pay-per-click business models are flawed for the advertisers.

[...] some marketing executives estimate that up to 20 percent of fees in certain advertising categories continue to be based on nonexistent consumers in today's search industry.

[...] Human operations can be more difficult to detect because a wide network of people can click on ads from different computers across many regions, without a steady pattern. According to a report in the India Times, residents are being hired to click paid links from home, with the hopes of making between $100 to $200 per month.

I think the future is pay-for-performance (the advertiser only gets paid if someone actually puchases something).

This is an evolution, but so was the original pay-per-impression model that's slowly vanishing these days. I remember when pay-per-impression began to lose favor, site owners protested by saying, "But hat's how it works on TV and radio..."

However, with those mediums, you can't easily measure performance. With the Web, you can. That fact led to the demise of per-per-impression, and I think it will eventually lead to the demise of pay-per-click too. Pay-for-performance is pretty foolproof — the merchant doesn't pay until they have cash in hand, and that's hard to spoof.
