Systems and methods for detecting user activities to identify deceptive activity

1. A computer-implemented method to determine whether user interaction activities are indicative of deceptive actions, comprising:

detecting performance of at least one user interaction activity on a computing device in order to detect confidence scheme intrusions into the computing device, wherein the user interaction activity comprises a user receiving a request to grant a remote computing device access to the computing device;

logging the performance of the at least one user interaction activity;

analyzing a past history of the logged user interaction activities on the computing device to determine a frequency of occurrence of each user interaction activity;

assigning a score to the detected at least one user interaction activity, wherein the score is based on the frequency of occurrence in the past of the at least one user interaction activity;

determining whether the logged user interaction activity matches a signature, wherein the signature comprises a sequence of at least one user interaction activity; and

generating a notification message based on the determination that the logged user interaction activity matches the signature, wherein the notification message comprises a query to the user of whether the user is in communication with another user and whether the other user is requesting that the user grant remote access to the computing device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining whether the logged user interaction activity matches the signature when an end point is detected.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the end point comprises a file download, initialization of a remote access session, or accessing a website requesting sensitive data.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising preventing the performance of an end point until a determination is made as to whether the logged at least one user interaction activity matches the signature.

5. A computing device configured to determine whether user interaction activities are indicative of deceptive actions, comprising:

a processor;

memory in electronic communication with the processor;

instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:

detect performance of at least one user interaction activity on a computing device in order to detect confidence scheme intrusions into the computing device, wherein the user interaction activity comprises a user receiving a request to grant a remote computing device access to the computing device;

log the performance of the at least one user interaction activity;

analyze a past history of the logged user interaction activities on the computing device to determine a frequency of occurrence of each user interaction activity;

assign a score to the detected at least one user interaction activity, wherein the score is based on the frequency of occurrence in the past of the at least one user interaction activity,

determine whether the logged user interaction activity matches a signature wherein the signature comprises a sequence of at least one user interaction activity; and

generate a notification message based on the determination that the logged user interaction activity matches the signature, wherein the notification message comprises a query to the user of whether the user is in communication with another user and whether the other user is requesting that the user grant remote access to the computing device.

6. The computing device of claim 5 , wherein the instructions being executable by the processor to:

determine whether the logged user interaction activity matches the signature when an end point is detected.

7. The computing device of claim 6 , wherein the end point comprises a file download, initialization of a remote access session, or accessing a website requesting sensitive data.

8. The computing device of claim 5 , wherein the user interaction activity comprises an interaction between a user and the computing device.

9. The computing device of claim 5 , wherein the instructions being executable by the processor to:

prevent the performance of an end point until a determination is made as to whether the logged at least one user interaction activity matches the signature.

10. A computer-program product to determine, via a processor, whether user interaction activities are indicative of deceptive actions, the computer-program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon, the instructions being executable by the processor to:

detect performance of at least one user interaction activity on a computing device in order to detect confidence scheme intrusions into the computing device, wherein the user interaction activity comprises a user receiving a request to grant a remote computing device access to the computing device;

log the performance of the at least one user interaction activity;

analyze a past history of the logged user interaction activities on the computing device to determine a frequency of occurrence of each user interaction activity;

assign a score to the detected at least one user interaction activity, wherein the score is based on the frequency of occurrence in the past of the at least one user interaction activity,

determine whether the logged user interaction activity matches a signature wherein the signature comprises a sequence of at least one user interaction activity; and

generate a notification message based on the determination that the logged user interaction activity matches the signature, wherein the notification message comprises a query to the user of whether the user is in communication with another user and whether the other user is requesting that the user grant remote access to the computing device.

11. The computer-program product of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to:

determine whether the logged user interaction activity matches the signature when an end point is detected.
