Abstract
Thwarting potentially malicious online activity. In one embodiment, a method may include logging legitimate online user activities performed at a browser. The method may also include receiving a suspicious online activity that was performed at a website. The method may further include comparing the suspicious online activity to the logged legitimate online user activities to determine whether the suspicious online activity matches any of the logged legitimate online user activities. The method may also include, in response to determining that the suspicious online activity does not match any of the logged legitimate online user activities, determining that the suspicious online activity is a potentially malicious online activity, and thwarting the potentially malicious online activity by performing a remedial action at the website to protect the website from the potentially malicious online activity.
