System and method for email account takeover detection and remediation utilizing anonymized datasets
Patent number: 11665195Abstract: A new approach is proposed to support account takeover (ATO) detection based on login attempts by users. The approach relies on assessing fraudulence confidence level of login IP addresses to classify the login attempts by the users. A plurality of attributes/features in one or more user login data logs are extracted and used to build a labeled dataset for training a machine learning (ML) model that relies on statistics of the login attempts to classify and detect fraudulent logins.
