Method, device, and system of differentiating among users based on user classification

Abstract

Devices, systems, and methods of detecting user identity, differentiating between users of a computerized service, and detecting a cyber-attacker. An end-user device interacts and communicates with a server of a computerized server (a banking website, an electronic commerce website, or the like). The interactions are monitored, tracked and logged. User Interface (UI) interferences or irregularities are introduced; and the server tracks the response or the reaction of the end-user to such interferences. The system determines whether the user is a legitimate user, or a cyber-attacker or automated script posing as the legitimate user. The system utilizes classification of users into classes or groups, to deduce or predict how a group-member would behave when accessing the service through a different type of device. The system identifies user-specific traits that are platform-independent and thus can be further monitored when the user switches from a first platform to a second platform.
