Abstract
The problem of abuse of privileges at cloud-hosted service sites is addressed by connecting a single individual or 'actor' with multiple user accounts and/or other online identities, thereby creating a 'consolidated profile.' In this way a confidence level can be established that a particular user account, IP address or other identifying attribute is associated with a particular actor. Different confidence levels may suffice depending on the remediary action to be taken; for example, holding a message for human review is obviously less draconian than rejecting the actor's registration at sign-up, and would therefore require a lower degree of confidence.
