Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a concept of fraud handling. A data transaction request is received via a data network from at least one user account. The data transaction request is analyzed based on predefined fraud detection rules to generate a fraud score associated with the at least one user account. The at least one user account is classified as fraudulent account if the associated fraud score exceeds a predefined fraud likelihood threshold. Data transactions associated with a classified fraudulent account via the data network are pseudo-randomly permitted or blocked.
