one or more nodes, each of the one or more nodes configured to wirelessly communicate with one or more user devices in a geographic service area; and
one or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:
receive a plurality of access requests from a first user device of the one or more user devices to access a service on the communications network;
determine that each access request of the plurality of access requests fail to authenticate with the service; and
blocking, based on a rate of access request failures of the first user device exceeding a predetermined threshold, one or more subsequent access requests from the first user device to access the service.
