Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium stored therein computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor for device identification in an electronic fraudulent event to perform steps of:
accessing a first electronic repository storing at least: a plurality of data records corresponding to a plurality of device identifiers, and a plurality of account identifiers;
calculating a plurality of proximity indicators each associated with each of the plurality of device identifiers, a proximity indicator representing a likelihood of association between a device and the electronic fraudulent event based at least in part on a comparison between device activity information associated with the device and the electronic fraudulent event;
based on the plurality of proximity indicators, identifying a master perpetrator device associated with the electronic fraudulent event and associated with a first device identifier of the plurality of device identifiers and a first account identifier of the plurality of account identifiers, wherein first proximity indicator is associated with the master perpetrator device based on the first proximity indicator being greater than a predetermined threshold, wherein the first proximity indicator is associated with a degree of separation between the master perpetrator device and another device;
execute an automated search on the first electronic repository using the plurality of proximity indicators to identify a first set of device identifiers;
generating a risk score for each of the first set of device identifiers, the risk score representing a first confidence level indicating a likelihood that a given device identifier of the first set of device identifiers is associated with a victim of the electronic fraudulent event;
based at least in part on the first set of device identifiers and the risk scores associated with the first set of device identifiers, determining a priority index that indicates an order of action taken in response to the electronic fraudulent event; and
based at least on the priority index, generating and transmitting a recommendation to one or more devices associated with the first set of device identifiers rather than the master perpetrator device.
