Abstract
Arrangements for providing unauthorized activity detection are provided. A computing platform may receive an indication that a transaction has been initiated at a transaction processing device. The computing platform may receive, from one or more sensors arranged on the transaction processing card, capacitance data associated with a capacitance detected when the transaction processing card is inserted into the card reader. The computing platform may execute a machine learning model using, as inputs, the capacitance data, to output any detected discrepancies between the current capacitance data and expected capacitance data. If a discrepancy is detected, the computing platform may identify that a skimming device is present at the card reader of the transaction processing device. A notification indicating that the skimming device is present may be generated and transmitted to, for instance, the transaction processing card and may cause a light emitting diode on the transaction processing card to illuminate.
