Abstract
A method for identification of malicious activity based on analysis of a travel path of a mobile device through multiple geographic areas includes receiving at least three location data associated with the mobile communication device, the first location data comprising indication of the geographic area of the mobile subscriber and a receipt timestamp; determining the actual travel time of the mobile subscriber from the first geographic area and the third geographic area based on a difference between timestamps of the first location data and the third location data; determining a minimum transition time for the subscriber of the mobile device to move from the first geographic area to the third geographic area; and identifying a malicious activity based on comparison of the actual travel time and the minimum transition time wherein actual travel time is less than minimum transition time between the first geographic area and the third geographic area.
