Abstract
Systems and methods for impersonation detection and abuse prevention are disclosed. In example embodiments, a batch server of a social networking service receives a new registration or an update for an account, the account comprising a name and identity-related information. The batch server determines that the name and the identity-related information of the account matches one or more other accounts of the social networking service. The batch server detects a suspicious behavior of the account. The batch server limits, in response to the suspicious behavior, access to the account unless or until an identity of a user of the account is verified.
