Abstract

An online system monitors resources utilization by users connecting with the online system and detects unauthorized resource utilization caused by sharing of sessions. The online system collects samples of browser attributes from browsers interacting with the online system. The online system determines a score indicating a difference between two samples of browser attributes taken at different times. The online system uses the score to determine whether the two samples of browser attributes in the same session were received from different browsers. If the online system detects unauthorized resource utilization if the two samples are determined to be from two different browsers. The online system takes mitigating actions, for example, by invalidating the session or requiring users to re-enter credentials.
