  • Publication number: 20230179615
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for detecting a cybersecurity breach. The cybersecurity breach may be a synthetic account or an account having been subjected to an account takeover. Electronic account data representative of accounts is obtained in which a first group of the accounts includes accounts flagged as being associated with the breach, and a second group of the accounts includes a remainder of the accounts. The computer system generates from the account data nodes representing the accounts and edges based on account metadata that connect the nodes. The computer system determines, such as by applying a link analysis method to the nodes and edges, a ranking of the accounts of at least part of the second group indicative of a likelihood that those accounts are also associated with the cybersecurity breach. That ranking may be used to identify which of those accounts is also identified with the cybersecurity breach.

  • Publication number: 20220164798
    Abstract: A computer system for, and method of, detecting fraudulent electronic transactions is provided. The system comprises at least one processor and a memory storing instructions which when executed by the processor configure the processor to perform the method. The method comprises accessing a trained model, receiving real-time transaction data, extracting graph-based and statistical features to enrich the real-time transaction data, and determining an account proximity score for the real-time transaction data.

  • Publication number: 20210160280
    Abstract: Websites, having associated features, are clustered by filtering entries that may be legitimate, determining feature similarity scores between the website features, and generating an aggregated similarity matrix containing website similarity scores between the websites. Websites are clustered into clusters or groups, based in part on the aggregated similarity matrix. Each cluster is identified by a cluster identifier and represents a centroid website and other websites at a normalized similarity score from the centroid. It is determined for each website whether the normalized similarity score is less than a threshold, and if so is identified as weakly-similar. Above the threshold, the website is labelled with the cluster identifier. Further clustering and thresholding is performed on the weakly-similar websites into additional clusters.

  • Patent number: 10819724
    Abstract: There is provided a neural network system for detection of domain generation algorithm generated domain names, the neural network system comprising: an input receiver configured for receiving domain names from one or more input sources; a convolutional neural network unit including one or more convolutional layers, the convolutional unit configured for receiving the input text and processing the input text through the one or more convolutional layers; a recurrent neural network unit including one or more long short term memory layers, the recurrent neural network unit configured to process the output from the convolutional neural network unit to perform pattern recognition; and a classification unit including one or more classification layers, the classification unit configured to receive output data from the recurrent neural network unit to perform a determination of whether the input text or portions of the input text are DGA-generated or benign domain names.
