Abstract

A method for accessing a network resource including detecting an attempt by a user via a computing device to access a service enabled by a computing system via a network and transmitting via the network to the computing system a first request to access the service in response to detecting the attempt by the user to access the service, the first request including at least one empty personally identifiable data structure. A failure to access the service responsive to the first request is determined. A second request to access the service in response to the first failure to access the service is transmitted via the network to the computing system, the second request including artificial personally identifiable information, and access to the service from the computing system is received for the user.
