Fraud Shield Against Credit Card Fraud
FRAUD SHIELD USING BIG DATA: ENHANCING SECURITY AND DETECTION
INTRODUCTION
Fraud is the willful falsification of information or the misleading of others to gain an unfair or unlawful advantage. Fraud typically benefits the offender financially or personally at the expense of the victim. Financial transactions, online interactions, identity theft, insurance claims, and other scenarios and kinds of fraud are just a few examples.
The risk of fraud is greater than ever in the linked world of today when organizations increasingly rely on digital platforms and online transactions. Cybercriminals continuously improve their methods for finding and exploiting holes in digital systems, costing organizations not just money but also harm to their reputations. Fraud Shield is a potent solution that can stop this rising threat.

Python:
The code was divided into two main sections:
- The Creation, Training, and Evaluation of RandomForestClassifier Model and
- Loading the Model and Making Predictions.
- RandomForestClassifier Model Development, Training, and Evaluation
The necessary PySpark libraries are imported, using pip install pyzipcode, sklearn, pandas, flask for python installation and pyspark along with tools for setting up a Spark session, building pipelines, classifying data with a RandomForestClassifier, assessing model performance, and utilizing DataFrame capabilities.
The code starts a Spark session called "creditcard" and reads a CSV file called "creditcard.csv" that contains information about credit card transactions. The dataset was read, cleaned, and analyzed. By eliminating rows with incomplete data using the "dropna" function, missing values in specified columns (such as "Time," "V1 through "V28," "Amount," and "Class") are handled.
To solve data imbalance, the code distinguishes fraudulent ('Class' == 1) from non-fraudulent ('Class' == 0) transactions. A balanced dataset is produced by undersampling non-fraudulent transactions to match the number of fraudulent ones. The union operation then merges these two datasets.
The dataset's predictive potential is increased by feature engineering. 'MeanV' computes the mean of a subset of PCA features ('V1' through 'V28'), whereas 'SumV' computes their sum. Transaction amounts are categorized by "AmountCategory" using preset bins. 'StdDev' and 'Variance' are obtained from the chosen PCA features.
Importing Libraries and Feature Engineering
Training and testing sets comprise 70% and 30%, respectively, of the dataset. 'Class' is used as the label column in a RandomForestClassifier model, and engineered features are used as the features column. Predictions are produced for the test data once the model has been trained using the training data. Based on these forecasts, the MulticlassClassificationEvaluator calculates accuracy, giving the model a performance score.
Model Evaluation and Accuracy
The saving of the model is handled by this code. A previously stored model is checked for existence. If so, the correctness of the current model is assessed. If the current model's accuracy outperforms the prior one, the current model is kept and takes the place of the earlier model. The best-performing model is kept using this iterative process.
Utilizing the Model to Make Predictions.
The 'PipelineModel.load' function loads the pre-trained model, allowing predictions to be made using the stored model. fresh data were produced to make predictions. Using a dictionary, a synthetic dataset that resembles credit card transaction data is produced.
New features ('MeanV', 'SumV', 'AmountCategory', 'StdDev', and 'Variance') are produced for the synthetic dataset based on chosen PCA features, like feature engineering during model training.
The engineering characteristics are transformed into a vector representation appropriate for model input using the 'VectorAssembler'.
The pre-trained model is used to forecast results using the fresh data. The 'transform' technique of the loaded model is used to provide predictions. The projected result is then presented after being taken from the Data Frame.
