Request for Fraud Alert System
Imagine a crowd sourced system that helped collect data on the following:
1. stolen credit card data
2. compromised email addresses
The purpose of this system would be to help software services share information about stolen credit cards and compromised email addresses in an attempt to reduce fraud.
I'd be interested to hear how the community here would go about implementing something like this. Thoughts on whether it's possible to do this securely and whether it's even a feasible means to prevent or reduce fraudulent activity.
- nikre 13y agonice idea but this service would be vulnerable to abuse via false reports. there should also be a simple way to verify the correctness of the reports to realize this idea. users can be given ID numbers regarding their stolen/lost accounts from the actual provider of that account where this ID number is is provided from a central application. so this boils down to persuading actual firms to cooperate. this would require lots of effort imo
- taf2 13y agovery true... it would take a bit of effort - but this is similar perhaps in spirit to services like http://www.spamhaus.org/ http://www.spamhaus.org/
