Windows 10: FRAUD

RogelioLovato · Sep 28, 2020

My friend that I have trusted for so long logged into my account and purchased 2 games that

We’re 45 bucks I total he gifted the game’s to his account he blocked me on everything. This happened August 17th when o fist saw the charge I mediately investigated and saw it was fraud. I Immediately knew who it was because in my history it said that I gifted 2 games to this person I immediately contacted Microsoft they told me to file a refund and I did, it got denied I contacted them again they told me to reply I did it denied because they do not refund games that have been consumed I kept filling refunds for about one month then I stopped because they are kept getting denied so I lost all hope meanwhile the person that committed fraud on my account is sitting down and enjoying the games that he did not get with his money I called my bank they only refunded 5 bucks because he stole 5 bucks from my bank and got the rest of my money from Microsoft currency I tried contacting Microsoft a lot of times everyone told me to file another refund. I have lost all the last refund I made was 4 days ago It got denied meanwhile my friend who committed fraud has been teasing me by streaming the games on twitch and making new account Harassing me

Constantly. Microsoft is not doing anything about it

Microsoft AI solution to detect mobile bank fraud in less than 2 secs

The future of mobile banking is clear. People love their mobile devices and banks are making big investments to enhance their apps with digital features and capabilities. As mobile banking grows, so does the one aspect about it that can be wrenching for customers and banks, mobile device fraud.

Problem: To implement near real-time fraud detection

Most mobile fraud occurs through a compromise called a SIM swap attack in which a mobile number is hacked. The phone number is cloned and the criminal receives all the text messages and calls sent to the victim’s mobile device. Then login credentials are obtained through social engineering, phishing, vishing, or an infected downloaded app. With this information, the criminal can impersonate a bank customer, register for mobile access, and immediately start to request fund transfers and withdrawals.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) models have the potential to dramatically improve fraud detection rates and detection times. One approach is described in the Mobile bank fraud solution guide. It’s a behavioral-based AI approach and can be much more responsive to changing fraud patterns than rules-based or other approaches.

The solution: A pipeline that detects fraud in less than two seconds

Latency and response times are critical in a fraud detection solution. The time it takes a bank to react to a fraudulent transaction translates directly to how much financial loss can be prevented. The sooner the detection takes place, the less the financial loss.

To be effective, detection needs to occur in less than two seconds. This means less than two seconds to process an incoming mobile activity, build a behavioral profile, evaluate the transaction for fraud, and determine if an action needs to be taken. The approach described in this solution is based on:

Feature engineering to create customer and account profiles.

Azure Machine Learning to create a fraud classification model.

Azure PaaS services for real-time event processing and end-to-end workflow.

The architecture: Azure Functions, Azure SQL, and Azure Machine Learning

Most steps in the event processing pipeline start with a call to Azure Functions because functions are serverless, easily scaled out, and can be scheduled.

The power of data in this solution comes from mobile messages that are standardized, joined, and aggregated with historical data to create behavior profiles. This is done using the in-memory technologies in Azure SQL.

Training of a fraud classifier is done with Azure Machine Learning Studio (AML Studio) and custom R code to create account level metrics.

Recommended next steps
