    摘要: Intelligent systems for detecting SIM swap in mobile devices, wherein if a user requests access to an account via a mobile device, a mobile device application (MDA) sends the request along with mobile device ID and IMSI. If all information received from the MDA matches information stored in memory, the user can access the account. If the mobile device ID or IMSI received from the MDA do not match the mobile device ID or IMSI stored in memory, a social intelligence module compares a mobile device user profile with a profile for a user associated with the account ID. If the mobile device user profile matches or is within a confidence level of the profile for the user associated with the account ID, the user can access the account. Otherwise, additional methods to validate the user may be implemented to prevent possible fraudsters from accessing the account.

    摘要: A token-based security risk assessment service for multi-factor authentication (MFA) is described. An enterprise may utilize the security risk assessment service, and a telecommunication service provider may provide the security risk assessment service as a network-based service. The security risk assessment service may be configured to monitor identifiers (IDs) of elements associated with users associated with an enterprise to determine if any have changed. Any changes may be factored into an adjustment to the user's security profile. Furthermore, the enterprise can utilize the security risk assessment service to implement a token-based MFA scheme where Short Message Service (SMS) is used as an authentication factor.

    摘要: There is a method and system of removing duplicate Visitor Location Register (VLR) records, and updating the VLR's Global Title Address (GTA) in their Home Location Register (HLR) to avoid duplicate VLR impact to customer service, which may result in missed inbound calls and delayed inbound SMS. Duplicate VLR GTA means that one subscriber has more than one VLR record in different Mobile Switching Stations (MSS) or Mobile Switching Centers (MSC). The valid VLR is identified by comparing the “last active timestamp” of the same subscriber identity (IMSI, or MSISDN, or MDN) of VLR records obtained from each MSS/MSC. The VLR that has the most recent “last active timestamp” is used to identify the active/valid VLR which serves the subscriber. Afterwards the non-active VLR records will be deleted, and the VLR's GTA in HLR will be updated as needed.
