Abstract

Methods and systems for using cloned accounts to track attacks on user accounts are described. A user login attempt is detected for a user account from a client computing device. A determination is made that the user is not a legitimate user. The user is routed to a cloned user account. An analysis of the interaction between the user and the cloned user account is performed.
