  • DETECTING SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR IN AN ONLINE GAMING APPLICATION
    Publication number: 20160250557
    Abstract: A processor-implemented method for detecting suspicious behavior in an online gaming application is provided. Access to an online gaming application is provided by a gaming server over a network to a client device operated by a user. An evaluation server retrieves gaming activity of the user occurring during sessions of the online gaming application. The evaluation server retrieves social network activity of the user occurring over a social networking application independent of the online gaming application. The evaluation server generates a social-gaming activity timeline using the gaming activity and social network activity. The evaluation server applies one or more social-gaming evaluation parameters to the generated social-gaming activity timeline to generate one or more security clearance flags. The evaluation server generates a constraint of service order which defines an action to be taken in response to the generated one or more security clearance flags.
