Stop Account Takeovers Before the Account Changes
Peakhour links leaked credential hits, residential proxy use, first-seen devices, and session anomalies to the next account event, then challenges or blocks high-risk password resets, profile changes, saved-card use, and checkout attempts.
Takeover Attempts Hide Inside Valid-Looking Logins
The password may be correct and the session may already exist. The risk appears when exposed credentials, proxy delivery, new device posture, and account intent line up before a customer changes details or completes an order.
Leaked Credentials That Still Work
Attackers replay exposed username and password pairs until a valid account opens.
Session Abuse After Sign-In
Compromised sessions move from login into password resets, email changes, saved addresses, gift cards, or stored payment details.
Evidence Scattered Across the Journey
Fraud, support, and security teams need the credential, session, score, and blocked action in one reviewable record.
Turn Takeover Evidence Into Account-Specific Controls
Peakhour Account Protect keeps the risk decision attached to the customer journey so compromised logins can be challenged at sign-in and stopped again before high-value account actions.
-
Credential Exposure Evidence
Flag sign-ins tied to known exposed credentials, repeated failed attempts, and password reset pressure.
-
Session and Device Posture
Detect first-seen devices, proxy delivery, abnormal session movement, and automation patterns before trust is extended.
-
Sensitive Action Guardrails
Apply step-up, deny, or review actions when risky sessions try to change email, reset passwords, use stored cards, or check out.
-
Reviewable Case Evidence
Keep the score, contributing signals, policy action, and account event together for fraud investigation and support decisions.
Evidence Follows the Session Into the Risky Action
Account takeover prevention is not just an adaptive login prompt. The same decision record explains why a session was challenged at login, why an account-change action was blocked, and which evidence justified the outcome.
Fraud and security teams get a connected story from credential exposure to session behaviour to the protected account action.
What Changes When Evidence Stays Connected
Fewer Successful Takeovers
Stop high-risk sessions before attackers change account details, drain stored value, or place fraudulent orders.
Cleaner Investigation Records
Review the credential, session, device, proxy, score, action, and policy version without rebuilding the incident timeline by hand.
Less Friction for Trusted Customers
Reserve step-up checks for sessions with takeover evidence while known-good customers continue through account and checkout workflows.
