DATA ANALYTICS TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL PURCHASES OF EXPLOSIVE CHEMICAL PRECURSORS

摘要

Techniques for purchase analytics are provided. Purchase data is received, where the purchase data indicates a first item. It is determined that the purchase data corresponds to a purchase made by a first individual, and that the first item is included in a predefined list of reactants. One or more social media platforms are analyzed to identify a plurality of other individuals that have a relationship with the first individual. It is determined that at least one of the plurality of other individual has purchased a second item that is included in the predefined list of reactants. Upon determining that the first item and the second item meet a predefined combination, a suspicion metric is assigned to the first individual. Finally, upon determining that the suspicion metric exceeds a predefined threshold, an alert is generated, wherein the alert includes an indication of the first individual and the at least one other individual.
