Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for detecting a presence of a malicious application are disclosed. In an example, a method includes storing information to a data structure as a predicted response from a client device. The information is indicative of graphically rendered text or images at the client device corresponding to transactional information and presentation information of a website. The method also includes, during a subsequent access of the website, selecting the transactional information and the presentation information to transmit to the client device. The method further includes receiving second information indicative of graphically rendered text or images at the client device, comparing the second information to the stored predicted response, and determining a malicious application is attempting to affect the controlled usage of a website resource or a second website resource when the received second information does not match the stored predicted response.
