Ah, this takes me back! On my first job, our CEO asked me to look at some fraud transaction data from an airline and use a graph database to gather some insights from it. His idea was to show that to some executives from the airline as a prototype to get some buy-in to build a fraud detection tool from them.

The data source basically contained account IDs, billing addresses, credit card hashes and whether an account was identified as fraudulent or not.

Using that data, I built a quick GraphDB prototype that showed clusters of fake/fraud accounts. It was simple stuff, but back then said execs were pretty impressed.

I don’t know what came of that because I left shortly after, but it was an interesting little experiment. I had fun building it!

Likely, it worked for a couple months until the bad actors found a cheap bypass to your detection method.

Such is the war against fraud.
