Researchers Sharpen Spear-Phishing With New Tool Leveraging Social Networks

Trustwave researchers say they have developed a tool that can find patterns in the way a target communicates online. The tool builds a database of social network status updates and makes these available for building user profiles. The profiles focus on text provided by a target of interest and allow pen testers to build support data structures for the most commonly used words, hashtags, and gelocation information. With that in hand, the tool uses the information to rank how close phony content is to legitimate content produced by the target. It does not try to interpret the meaning of what the user is talking about.”]
