Abstract
In one embodiment, a method executed by at least one processor includes receiving an image associated with a user and analyzing, by the at least one processor, the image. The method also includes determining a set of colors of the image based on the analysis of the image and generating a representation of the image based on the determined set of colors. The method further includes comparing the representation of the image to one or more stored representations of a first set of images. The stored representations of the first set of images are based on sets of colors of the first set of images. The first set of images are associated with known users. The method also includes, in response to comparing the representation of the image to the one or more stored representations of the first set of images, determining that the user is a suspected fraudulent user.
