Abstract
A system and method for the detection of irregularities, such as fraud or malware, running on a device, is disclosed. An example method includes receiving new ones of data items indicative of the device's current operation; determining whether the new ones of data items deviate from the device's typical operation by comparing the new ones of data items to a profile relating to the typical operation of the device, wherein the deviating includes either using an infrequently used one of incoming ports and outgoing ports or continually accessing a new website. The example method can further include based on the determining: updating the device baseline profile to create an updated device baseline profile with the new ones of data items if the new ones of data items do not deviate from the typical operation of the device; and generating an alert if the new ones of data items do deviate from the typical operation of the device.
