Abstract
An authorization process employs a network ID as a possession factor for a secure account, such as a bank account or e-mail account, and determines one or more risk indicators associated with the possession factor. The authorization process is successfully completed when a risk score that is based on the risk indicators is less than a certain risk threshold. The risk indicators include a device history of the network ID and/or at least one attribute of a cellular account associated with the network ID. The device history identifies other mobile devices and/or SIM cards, if any, that have been previously activated with the network ID, while the one or more attributes can further indicate potentially fraudulent activity associated with the cellular account through which wireless services for the network ID are currently provided.
