Abstract
Activities of users of a service often involve one or more resources, such as uploading or downloading files in a file system of an FTP server. The activities of the users may be tracked and recorded in an activity log in order to identify frequently performed activities involving particular resources, and for such frequently performed activities, one or more activity actions may be performed. For example, malicious users may upload or utilize an equivalent set of assets stored in several accounts. The frequency of these undesirable activities may be identified, and an activity action may be automatically applied to the users (e.g., banning accounts), resources (e.g., deleting assets), and/or activities (e.g., blocking access to the resources). Conversely, desirable activities involving particular resources may be similarly detected, and the activity action applied to such desirable activities may involve reporting the desirable activity to an administrator of the service.
