Methods, systems, and media for detecting fraudulent activity based on hardware events

A system for detecting fraudulent activity on a webpage, the system comprising:

• a hardware processor of a user device that, when executing hardware event detector code, is configured to:
• detect a plurality of hardware events and a plurality of interactions with a page, wherein each of the plurality of interactions is associated with a corresponding output from hardware event detector code;
• determine whether a correlation exists between each of the plurality of interactions with the page and one or more of the plurality of hardware events detected by the hardware event detector code and whether the correlation indicates suspicious activity based on at least a portion of the interactions that do not correlate with one or more of the plurality of hardware events;
• and
• respond to a request for content associated with the page by inhibiting the content from being transmitted to the page based on the determination that the correlation indicates suspicious activity.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for detecting fraudulent activity on a website, the method comprising:

• detecting, using a hardware processor of a user device that executes hardware event detector code, a plurality of hardware events and a plurality of interactions with a page, wherein each of the plurality of interactions is associated with a corresponding output from the hardware event detector code;
• determining, using the hardware processor, whether a correlation exists between each of the plurality of interactions with the page and one or more of the plurality of hardware events detected by the hardware event detector code and whether the correlation indicates suspicious activity based on at least a portion of the interactions that do not correlate with one or more of the plurality of hardware events;
• and
• responding, using the hardware processor, to a request for content associated with the page by inhibiting the content from being transmitted to the page based on the determination that the correlation indicates suspicious activity.
