Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for detecting suspicious users. One of the methods includes obtaining a collection of event logs or event feeds associated with a plurality of users to generate a collection of user properties; using the user properties to generate a plurality of groups of events; determining whether one or more groups are suspicious groups; and in response to a determination that one or more groups are suspicious, determining whether there are malicious accounts or events associated with each suspicious group.
