Real-Time Behavior Change Detection for SIM Swap & Account Takeover Fraud
Session overview: Real-Time Behavior Change Detection for SIM Swap & Account Takeover Fraud
This session presents an AI-based approach to real-time behaviour-change detection for identifying SIM-swap and account-takeover fraud. It examines behavioural anomalies that may appear immediately after a new SIM activation, including sudden location changes, contact with previously unseen numbers, and changes in device or network fingerprints. The approach enables a faster fraud response while helping to reduce false positives.
