Method and system for identity fraud detection and system agnostic user authentication in social media and communication network systems

A system for identity fraud detection and system agnostic user authentication in a social network and/or one or more communication applications, wherein the system is configured to:

• register a first user of a first user device to the system;
• facilitate communications between the first user device of the first user and a second user device of a second user;
• monitor the activities of the two users on the application(s) to identify and notify malicious action(s);
• identify a risk for malicious action(s);
• trigger an authentication via a mechanism to authenticate the second user based on an identified risk for malicious action(s);
• notify the first device of the first user in case the authentication is not successful for notification of the first use of the malicious action(s) and also notify other applications on the first user's device in case the authentication is not successful.

A method for identity fraud detection and system agnostic user authentication in one or more social media and/or communication applications, wherein the method comprises the steps of:

• monitoring, by a system, activities of a first user and a second user on the social media and/or communication application(s) to identify and notify malicious action(s);
• identifying, by the system, a risk for malicious action(s) based on the monitoring;
• triggering, by the system, an authentication via a mechanism to authenticate the second user;
• notifying, by the system, the first user, after the authentication is not successful;
• notifying, by the system, other applications on the first user's device after the authentication is not successful.
