NEUTRALIZING PROPAGATION OF MALICIOUS INFORMATION

摘要

Methods and arrangements for controlling a spread of malicious information in a network. A viral spread of information is tracked, in a network comprising interconnected nodes. Malicious information in the viral spread of information is identified. A topic-specific sub-network of nodes prone to be affected by the malicious information is predicted, and the effect of the malicious information at the sub-network of nodes is neutralized, via initiating a spread of neutralizing information to the sub-network of nodes. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.

1. A method of controlling a spread of malicious information in a network, said method comprising:
utilizing at least one processor to execute computer code configured to perform the steps of: tracking a viral spread of information in a network comprising interconnected nodes; identifying malicious information in the viral spread of information; predicting a topic-specific sub-network of nodes prone to be affected by the malicious information; and neutralizing the effect of the malicious information at the sub-network of nodes, via initiating a spread of neutralizing information to the sub-network of nodes.
