Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for detecting a presence of a malicious application are disclosed. In an example, a method includes determining a prediction for human user interaction with webpage content of a website by identifying webpage elements in the webpage content, where the webpage elements are for human user interaction, and determining at least one of spatial density of cursor movements or cursor velocity vectors relative to the webpage elements that are indicative of human user interaction with the webpage content. The method further includes using the prediction for human user interaction with the webpage content to determine if received webpage interaction information from a client device is indicative of a presence of a malicious application. The method provides an indication of the presence of the malicious application if the received interaction information is indicative of the presence of a malicious application.
