A telecommunications service provider's real time analysis system analyzes communications data to detect potentially fraudulent communications data, where the analysis is performed in real time in the routing path of the communications data. The communications data may include calls (e.g., SS7, VoIP, etc. based calls) and messages (e.g., SMS, MMS, etc.). The real time analysis system rejects potentially fraudulent communications data and non-fraudulent communications data in order to be used in real time in the routing path of the communications data. A rejection by the real time analysis system may cause non-fraudulent communications data to still be sent to the intended destination of the communications data. The real time analysis system can be in the routing path of the communications data without further routing non-fraudulent communications data traffic to the next appropriate hop in the routing path.

System and method for real time fraud analysis of communications data

A system and method for connecting a call from an originating endpoint of a calling party to a terminating endpoint of a called party. The system comprises: a first computer system configured to i) receive, from a second computer system, a plurality of subscriber identifiers for a first over-the-top (OTT) call service, comprising a subscriber identifier of the called party, ii) receive, from a third computer system, a first series of plural updates for a predetermined connection characteristic and corresponding to the subscriber identifier of the called party, and iii) generate a signal for controlling the call, wherein the signal indicates to route the call either a) via the first OTT call service or b) via a different call service, based the first series of plural updates; and a networking device configured to route the call to the terminating endpoint, based on the signal.
