Method and system for preventing illicit use of a telephony platform

A method comprising:

• generating a set of rules that each comprise a usage condition, the generating of the set of rules based on patterns in a set of collected data performed by a fraud scoring system using machine learning, the usage condition comprising a pattern of behavior derivable from one or more data streams of usage data associated with one or more accounts;
• obtaining one or more data streams of usage data associated with one or more accounts from operational components of a communication platform, the obtaining of the one or more data streams of usage data comprises receiving a portion of the usage data from an application programming interface (API) associated with the one or more accounts;
• determining a score by analyzing measurements calculated using the set of rules and the usage data performed by the fraud scoring system;
• and
• performing an action with respect to the one or more accounts based on the score by the communication platform.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors, causes the one or more computer processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• generating a set of rules that each comprise a usage condition, the generating of the set of rules based on patterns in a set of collected data performed by a fraud scoring system using machine learning;
• obtaining one or more data streams of usage data associated with one or more accounts from operational components of a communication platform, the usage condition comprising a pattern of behavior derivable from one or more data streams of usage data associated with one or more accounts, the obtaining of the one or more data streams of usage data comprises receiving a portion of the usage data from an application programming interface (API) associated with the one or more accounts;
• determining a score by analyzing measurements calculated using the set of rules and the usage data performed by the fraud scoring system;
