Abstract
A method and a system are provided that include retrieving, from one or more databases, a first set of information including metadata of electronic communications of one or more entities, and retrieving, from one or more databases, a second set of information including metadata of telecom communications of the one or more entities. The method and system also include analyzing the metadata of the electronic communications and the metadata of the telecom communications to determine one or more interconnection associations of the one or more entities, and identifying activities and characteristics attributable to the one or more entities based on the one or more interconnection associations. The method and system are useful for identifying networks through metadata to prevent criminal or other unlawful activity (e.g., fraud, theft, etc.) and/or to mine for opportunities.
