  • Patent number: 11961117
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided in the field of online advertising and malicious software. In some embodiments, an apparatus for determining a degree of deceptiveness associated with a session presenting at least one online advertisement includes means for capturing electronic interactions among at least two entities involved in the session, the captured interactions including interaction-related properties and time, means for processing to filter a plurality of attributes for the one or more relations from the captured electronic interactions, each attribute defining a data type and corresponding data value, wherein the extraction is performed by integration with the two or more entities, apply one or more models to each of the one or more relations, and determine a degree of deceptiveness for each of the one or more relations based on the one or more applied models.

  • Publication number: 20240029106
    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring malicious software engaging in online advertising fraud or other form of deceit are disclosed herein. An example method includes identifying a communication process used by a compromised computing device to communicate with a control server, the control server providing access to advertising weblinks, the compromised computing device associated with malicious software, directing, by an instruction executed by a processor, the compromised computing device to communicate with an uncompromised computing device by re-routing of packets used for communication between the compromised computing device and the control server, the uncompromised computing device is configured to mimic communications between the compromised computing device and the control server using the communication processes, storing information from one or more packets transmitted from the uncompromised computing device, and creating a profile of the malicious software based on the stored information.

  • Patent number: 11232479
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided in the field of online advertising and malicious software. In some embodiments, a method for determining a degree of deceptiveness for a session is provided, the session having one or more relationships between one or more properties of interactions with an online advertisement, the method comprising: extracting one or more characteristics associated with each of the one or more relationships; applying one or more models to each of the one or more relationships to determine a degree of deceptiveness for each of the one or more relationships; aggregating the degree of deceptiveness for each of the one or more relationships to generate the degree of deceptiveness for the session.
