Fraud Hunting Platform (FHP) is an end-to-end system of Group-IB for fight against fraud. Provides pro-active protection of the digital personality and fraud prevention in real time.
Fraud Hunting Platform became the successor of a product line of Secure Bank/Secure Portal which Group-IB developed since 2013, having won a grant of Skolkovo Foundation on the innovative development of means of protecting against an online fraud.
2020: Presentation of Fraud Hunting Platform
On October 30, 2020 within the virtual presentation the Group-IB company provided an end-to-end system for fight against fraud of Fraud Hunting Platform. With its help for the first 6 months of this year it was succeeded to prevent damage for the amount of 320 million rub in five large Russian banks. Fraud Hunting Platform daily protects 130 million users.
Within the presentation the product which received the name Preventive Proxy is also provided. It was created in response to the growing problem of the harmful bots attacking the market of e-commerce and online banking. According to Group-IB, on harmful bots about 30% of Internet traffic are necessary. At the same time the most widespread of them – the bots used for selection of passwords using earlier stolen credentials. Their share makes about 60%.
The virtual action of Group-IB was devoted to the relevant concept of protection of the digital identity of the user against different threats — cracking of an account, theft of identification data, money transfer from his name and other actions of the potential malefactor. The leading role in protection is executed now by an end-to-end system of Group-IB Fraud Hunting Platform. She became the successor of a product line of Secure Bank\Secure Portal which Group-IB developed since 2013, having won a grant of Skolkovo Foundation on the innovative development of means of protecting against an online fraud.
In real time Group-IB Fraud Hunting Platform analyzes each session and behavior of the user both on a web resource, and in mobile application. Based on the behavioural analysis and algorithms of machine learning, a system creates the unique digital fingerprint of devices, "connects" with them the user and his accounts that allows to distinguish with a bigger accuracy his actions from actions of swindlers even if those, for example, took control of its mobile phone or payment data. This technology received the name Global ID — global user identification.
At the same time unified information environment for all products Group-IB allows the Fraud Hunting Platform system to use unique data of Threat Intelligence & Attribution that gives the chance to reveal the hidden threats and suspicious communications, to use this information at investigation and also "hunt" for malefactors, contacting persons, involved in an incident.
The key module FHP — Preventive Proxy — is created especially for the companies working in the field of online trade and also the "classical" business selling products and services online. Inclusion of Preventive Proxy in the structure of Fraud Hunting Platform gives the chance to distinguish "good" bots and harmful using which malefactors carry out different attacks on the websites, web and mobile applications of the companies.
According to Group-IB, on legal bots about 20% of all Internet traffic, on harmful – about 30% are necessary. Preventive Proxy task — a comprehensive protection of the websites, mobile applications and their users from cracking of accounts, collecting of personal information from personal accounts, illegal copying of author's content from the websites, "attacks" on mobile API and its unauthorized use.
Preventive Proxy can be implemented in infrastructure of web or mobile application and also to use it through Group-IB cloud. "Smart" protection against bots also applies the behavioural analysis to identification harmful a bot activity. Preventive Proxy, for example, investigates behavior of the user to estimate who performs these or those operations in network – the person or a bot. Besides, the solution collects parameters of the browser, the application and the device, protecting a real user session from reuse by "bad" bots. At this Preventive Proxy does not block requests from the entrusted sources or legal bots.
Group-IB counted that up to 60% of activity of "bad" bots it is the share of Credential stuffing (the attacks using the stolen credentials). The skraping share (from engl. "scraping", technology of obtaining web and data by their extraction from pages of web resources) — makes 30%. Another 10% are the share of other types of fraud.
Having analyzed types of harmful bots, specialists of Group-IB came to a conclusion that in 80% cases, for example at Credential stuffing, cybercriminals use Shell bots which do seamless accesses to the server of the console. Web bots are involved in the skraping-attacks (20%), these are more intellectual bots for which creation headless-browsers are, as a rule, used. These are vulnerability scanners, skreyper, spammers, bots for autoorders, buying up of goods. The third category of harmful bots (less than 1%), emulate behavior of the person, for example, for authorization and verification of accounts of bank.

Integration with SAS Fraud Framework

Schemes of fraud become more and more sophisticated, it becomes more difficult to reveal them therefore today it is natural that different vendors willingly cooperate for the purpose of increase in efficiency of the tools and guaranteeing the due security level of the RBS systems to customers. It is at the moment obvious to all that uses only of expert knowledge for fraud identification already insufficiently. Symbiosis of advanced approaches, non-standard solutions and the saved-up examination is required that at a stage of planning of a compromise to define and level threats. |
The hybrid approach of SAS to identification of fraud allows to combine flexibly business rules, methods of predictive analytics, model of identification of anomalies, the analysis of unstructured information and also to carry out the intellectual analysis of interrelations between system objects (transactions, clients, incidents and so forth). But it is important not just to reveal a fraud, but also to reduce the number of false operations an antifraud of systems and, as a result, to reduce load of security experts. The solution of these tasks depends, first, on ability to estimate correctly how specific actions in the RBS system and the subsequent to it transactions are characteristic of the client. We draw such conclusions, proceeding from information which is available directly in the systems of bank. And secondly, knowledge which we gain in an analysis result of the network environment and the client's environment at the time of commission of such transaction are necessary: whether the machine is infected whether the fact of remote connection was recorded, whether there are signs of application of a phishing and other. |
Along with integration of solutions of the company announced creation of service for the banks using SAS Fraud Framework and Bot-Trek Secure Bank for operational informing on cyberfraud cases. All data on the revealed incidents and the appeared schemes will be immediately interpreted in the form of algorithms an antifraud system that will help to increase efficiency and security of remote links of service taking into account changes and emergence of threats.
