  • Patent number: 11943386
    Abstract: A processing system may maintain a communication graph that includes nodes representing a plurality of phone numbers including a first phone number and edges between the nodes representing a plurality of communications between the plurality of phone numbers and may generate at least one vector via a graph embedding process applied to the communication graph, the at least one vector representing features of at least a portion of the communication graph. The processing system may then apply the at least one vector to a prediction model that is implemented by the processing system and that is configured to predict whether the first phone number is associated with a type of network activity associated with a telecommunication network and may implement a remedial action in response to an output of the prediction model indicating that the first phone number is associated with the type of network activity.

  • Publication number: 20230216967
    Abstract: A processing system may maintain a relationship graph that includes nodes and edges representing phone numbers and device identifiers having associations with the phone numbers. The processing system may obtain an identification of a first phone number or a first device identifier for a fraud evaluation and extract features from the relationship graph associated with at least one of the first phone number or the first device identifier. The plurality of features may include one or more device identifiers associated with the first phone number, or one or more phone numbers associated with the first device identifier. The processing system may then apply the features to a prediction model that is implemented by the processing system and that is configured to output a fraud risk value of the first phone number or the first device identifier and implement at least one remedial action in response to the fraud risk value.

  • Publication number: 20230136950
    Abstract: An example method performed by a processing system obtaining a first port-in number for a first mobile device from a first mobile communications service provider, wherein the first port-in number is known to be involved in fraudulent activity, constructing a social graph of communications between the first port-in number and a plurality of other numbers associated with a plurality of other communications devices, identifying, by the processing system, a maximal subgraph of the social graph, wherein the maximal subgraph connects the first port-in number and a subset of the plurality of other numbers that includes those of the plurality of other numbers for which a usage metric is below a predefined threshold for a defined period of time prior to the first port-in number being ported into the first mobile communications service provider, and identifying, by the processing system, a potential fraud ring, based on the maximal subgraph.
