Abstract

An online system monitors resources utilization by users connecting with the online system and detects unauthorized resource utilization. The online system collects samples of browser attributes from browsers interacting with the online system. The online system determines statistics describing the browser attributes based on the collected samples for that user. The online system receives values of browser attributes for a new request received from a user and determines a browser score indicating a likelihood that the new request was sent from a new client device different from the client devices used by the user during the time interval. If the online system determines that the score indicates that the new request was sent by the new client device, the online system takes mitigating actions to control the unauthorized resource utilization, for example, by requesting credentials for authenticating the request.
