Abstract:
An approach provides detection of unauthorized use of data services. The number of data calls for access to a data network is tracked over a predetermined time period, and the cumulative duration of the data calls is determined. Thereafter, a determination is made as to whether the number of the data calls and the cumulative duration satisfy, respectively, a first threshold and a second threshold. A potential fraudulent use of the account is determined, if the thresholds are satisfied.
