Abstract
An access regulating device (22) for a communication terminal (10) using a communication network (12) obtains an indication (I) that the communication terminal (10) is a potentially compromised communication terminal, analyses the indication (I), selects type of communication restriction based on the analysis, where a first type of communication restriction comprises barring the communication terminal (10) from using the communication network (12) and a second type of communication restriction comprises limiting the use of the communication network (12) by the communication terminal (10), and informs (B1,B2; Q) at least one network node (16, 18; 24) responsible for handling communication restrictions of the type selected for the communication terminal (10) in order for the communication network (12) to effectuate the communication restriction.
