  • Patent number: 11792197
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for detecting fraudulent accounts. One of the methods includes obtaining raw data from network events associated with a collection of user accounts of an online service; processing the raw data including determining a feature set and applying the feature set to generate user groups each comprising one or more user account; evaluating each user group based on feature distributions including performing one or more Major-Key-Shared (MKS) correlation calculations on pairs of features from the feature set for the group; scoring each group based on the evaluation; and identifying groups having a score that exceeds a specified threshold as fraudulent.

  • Patent number: 11621966
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for fraud detection. One of the methods includes partitioning a feature space into a plurality of sub feature spaces, wherein the feature space comprises features associated with user account events for an online service; generating one or more clusters of users for each of one or more sub feature spaces; comparing a feature profile of one or more of the clusters with a global feature profile to determine features of one or more the clusters that have concentrated key values that exceed a respective threshold value; for each of the one or more clusters, scoring the cluster including aggregating the degree to which the key values for features exceed the corresponding threshold values; and based on the scores of the one or more clusters, determining one or more fraud detection actions.

  • Patent number: 11232364
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for rule generation and interaction. A rules engine is provided that does not require manual effort to generate or maintain high-quality rules over time for detecting malicious accounts or events. Rules no longer need to be manually added, tuned, or removed from the system. The system is able to determine the health of each rule and automatically add, tune, and remove rules to maintain a consistent, effective rule set.
