Abstract
Techniques for detection of the fraudulent use of content delivery network (CDN) served byte streams are described. A fraud detection service obtains CDN log data, distribution data, and account data and uses elements therefrom to perform a distribution-centric fraud analysis using machine learning techniques. Based on the likelihood of fraud determined by the analysis, the fraud detection service can rapidly perform actions to address the fraud, such as the termination of service for the distribution, throttling of resources provided for the distribution, or further investigation techniques.
