Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: comparing a first username with a second username, the first username being associated with a sender of a communication, and the second username being associated with a recipient of the communication; determining, based on the comparing, a probability that the first username and the second username are both associated with a single entity; determining whether the probability that the first username and the second username are both associated with a single entity exceeds a threshold; responsive to determining that the probability that the first username and the second username are both associated with a single entity exceeds the threshold, referring the communication to a review process; responsive to determining that the probability that the first username and the second username are both associated with a single entity does not exceed the threshold, failing to refer the communication to the review process; and adjusting the threshold based on whether one or more communications referred to the review process were determined during the review process to have a first username associated with a sender of the one or more communications and a second username associated with a recipient of the one or more communications that are both associated with a single entity.
