Abstract
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium has instructions executed by a processor to collect mobile device environment parameters. Identity attributes including real identity attributes for a real individual and at least one set of synthetic identity attributes are stored. An electronic communication attempt by a designated entity corresponding to either the real identity attributes or the at least one set of synthetic identity attributes is monitored. The electronic communication attempt is analyzed in connection with the mobile device environment parameters and identity attributes to identify a rule transgression. A warning is supplied in connection with the electronic communication attempt in response to the rule transgression.
