System and method for detecting and preventing malfeasant activity via use of satellite communications
Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for detecting and preventing malfeasant activity via use of satellite communications. The method includes receiving a transfer request relating to a transfer to be completed associated with a user. The method also includes receiving transfer device data packet(s) from an end-point device via a satellite network. The transfer device data packet(s) includes device information associated with the end-point device. The method further includes determining a malfeasance value based on a comparison of the transfer request and the transfer device data packet(s). The malfeasance value corresponds to a likelihood of a malfeasant activity relating to the transfer request. The method still further includes causing an execution of an elevated action in an instance in which the malfeasance value is equal to or above a malfeasance threshold. The elevated action is an action in which the transfer is delayed or cancelled.
