There are other parties that have similar problems.
The telecommunicationindustrie has massive problems with abuse of
mobile phones. They loose a significant amount of their revenue
from that (up to 20% was reported).
Creditcardmisuse is also a big issue.
Since there is so many money involved there exists a pletoria of
countermeasures. Different methods of KI are in use.

Recently i programmed a simple rule-based fraud-detection-system
for a telecommunication firma, so i am somewhat informed.

A skilled student could write an tool to detect computercheaters in
a few weeks. It would be an interesting task (hint:)
