  • Patent number: 8904506
    Abstract: A user account may be throttled to restrict access once aberrant behavior is detected. Upon receiving a request to access the user account, a determination of whether the user account is in a throttled state may be made. In some aspects, when the user account is not in a throttled state, user account access may be determined based at least in part on an access credential. Further, in some aspects, when the user account is in a throttled state, user account access may be determined based at least in part on an access credential and other client information associated with the user account.
