  • USER ACCOUNT BEHAVIOR TECHNIQUES
    Publication number: 20110296003
    Abstract: User account behavior techniques are described. In implementations, a determination is made as to whether interaction with a service provider via a user account deviates from a model. The model is based on behavior that was previously observed as corresponding to the user account. Responsive to a determination that the interaction deviates from the model, the user account is flagged as being potentially compromised by a malicious party.
