Abstract
An example of a method for detecting hacking activities includes identifying one or more attributes of each interaction in a sequence of interactions between one or more users and bank services during a predetermined time period. The one or more users are categorized into a plurality of groups based on the identified attributes. Each of the plurality of groups includes users performing the sequence of interactions with the bank services during the predetermined time period. A degree of anomaly is calculated for each of the plurality of groups based on a total number of users associated with a corresponding sequence of interactions and based on a number of users associated with the corresponding sequence of interactions during the predetermined time period. The calculated degree of anomaly is compared with a predetermined threshold. Hacking activity is identified, in response to determining that the calculated degree of anomaly exceeds the predetermined threshold.
