These are all solid indications of cyber criminal activity. Device Behavior Certain operations are driven by malware (man-in-the-middle session hijacking and man-in-the-browser event replay). These may seem difficult to catch, but complex device identification and profiling allows these threats to be recognized for what they are. Device Inconsistencies Why is a particular device claiming to be in New York but its time zone is deep in the Carpathian Mountains? What about languages that are not expected? These are all device inconsistencies that can indicate fraud and a sojourn into the darkside.
