The Lounge What is on Your Mind? Business origins - MalWareBytes - interesting read Post 303037124 by Neo on Wednesday 24th of July 2019 08:28:00 AM

If Microsoft did not create such insecure software, anti-virus companies like MalwareBytes would not be in business.

It's an industry many of us in my circle of cybersecurity experts refer to as a "self-licking ice-cream cone" because all these companies just feed off the insecurity of the Window's (for the most part) operating system.

It's really a social and economic tragedy when you stop to think about it.

I just finished a GREAT book called "Lost in Math - How Beauty Leads Physics Astray" by Sabine Hossenfelder. In her transformational book, she describes the various biases, including cognitive bias" to which "following the herd" is a subset.

Computer security is so full of cognitive bias that if you really understood the industry, your stomach would turn, realizing how much corporate greed is the root cause of most of the IT insecurity we face in society.

There is yet no "antivirus software" for human greed and ignorance.

IMNSHO, everyone should read (or listen to), Sabine Hossenfelder's book, "Lost in Math".

NAME
Business::FraudDetect - A cohort to Business::OnlinePayment SYNOPSIS
my %processor_info = ( fraud_detection => 'preCharge', maximum_fraud_score => 500, preCharge_id => '1000000000000001', preCharge_security1 => 'abcdef0123', preCharge_security2 => '3210fedcba', ) my $transaction = new Business::OnlinePayment($processor, %processor_info); $transaction->content( type => 'Visa', amount => '49.95', cardnumber => '1234123412341238', expiration => '0100', name => 'John Q Doe', ); $transaction->submit(); if($transaction->is_success()) { print "Card processed successfully: ".$transaction->authorization()." "; } else { print "Card was rejected: ".$transaction->error_message()." "; } DESCRIPTION
This is a module that adds functionality to Business::OnlinePayment. See Business::OnlinePayment. The user instantiates a Business::OnlinePayment object per usual, adding in three processor directives o fraud_detection Which Fraud Detection module to use. o maximum_fraud_score FraudDetection drivers are expected to return a numeric "risk" factor, this parameter allows you to set the threshold to reject the transaction based on that risk. Higher numbers are "riskier" transactions. o other driver-specific parameters. Consult the specific Fraud Detection module you intend to use for its required parameters. The $tx->submit() method is overridden to interpose a FraudDetection phase. A subordinate object is created using the same content as the parent OnlinePayment object, and a Fraud Detect action is run against that subordinate object. If the resulting fraud score is less than or equal to the maximum_risk parameter, the parent transaction will be allowed to proceed. Otherwise, a failure state will exist with a suitable error message. METHODS
This module provides no new methods. It does, however override the submit method to interpose an additional Fraud Detection phase. AUTHORS
