The study tested the mathematical statistics and graph theory methods allowing us to detect fraudsters in the information environment. The first method makes it possible to prevent illegal activities of the whole fraudulent structure, the second method enables us to determine who is engaged in illegal activity on the stock exchange, the third one is good for detecting the data falsification.
