Twitter with its rising popularity as a micro-blogging website has inevitably attracted attention of spammers. Spammers use myriad of techniques to lure victims into clicking malicious URLs. In this thesis, we present several novel features capable of distinguishing spam accounts from legitimate accounts in real-time. The features exploit the behavioral and content entropy, bait-techniques, community-orientation, and profile characteristics of spammers. We then use supervised learning algorithms to generate models using the proposed features and show that our tool, spAmbush, can detect spammers in real-time. Our analysis reveals detection of more than 90% of spammers with less than five tweets and more than half with only a single tweet. Our feature computation has low latency and resource requirement. Our results show a 96% detection rate with only 0.01% false positive rate. We further cluster the unknown spammers to identify and understand the prevalent spam campaigns on Twitter.

Social Networks define a path for consumers to continue contact with their friends. Social Networks' is increasingly the popularity allows of them to accumulator huge amounts of PI (Personal Information) about their consumers. Unhappily, spam information wealth as-well-as its simple to access consumers information can attract attackers class concentration. That's why social networks have been attacked by spammers while there has been a various work to identify and repair them.

Social networking services have emerged as an important platform for large-scale information sharing and communication. With the growing popularity of social media, spamming has become rampant in the platforms. Complex network interactions and evolving content present great challenges for social spammer detection. Different from some existing well-studied platforms, distinct characteristics of newly emerged social media data present new challenges for social spammer detection. First, texts in social media are short and potentially linked with each other via user connections. Second, it is observed that abundant contextual information may play an important role in distinguishing social spammers and normal users. Third, not only the content information but also the social connections in social media evolve very fast. Fourth, it is easy to amass vast quantities of unlabeled data in social media, but would be costly to obtain labels, which are essential for many supervised algorithms. To tackle those challenges raise in social media data, I focused on developing effective and efficient machine learning algorithms for social spammer detection. I provide a novel and systematic study of social spammer detection in the dissertation. By analyzing the properties of social network and content information, I propose a unified framework for social spammer detection by collectively using the two types of information in social media. Motivated by psychological findings in physical world, I investigate whether sentiment analysis can help spammer detection in online social media. In particular, I conduct an exploratory study to analyze the sentiment differences between spammers and normal users; and present a novel method to incorporate sentiment information into social spammer detection framework. Given the rapidly evolving nature, I propose a novel framework to efficiently reflect the effect of newly emerging social spammers. To tackle the problem of lack of labeling data in social media, I study how to incorporate network information into text content modeling, and design strategies to select the most representative and informative instances from social media for labeling. Motivated by publicly available label information from other media platforms, I propose to make use of knowledge learned from cross-media to help spammer detection on social media.

Online Social Networks (OSNs) have become more and more popular in the whole world recently. People share their personal activities, views, and opinions among different OSNs. Simultaneously, social spam appears more frequently and in various formats throughout popular OSNs. As big data theory receives much more attention, it is expected that OSNs will have more interactions with each other shortly. This would enable a spam link, content or profile attack to easily move from one social network like Twitter to other social networks like Facebook. Therefore, efficient detection of spam has become a significant and popular problem. This paper focuses on spam detection across multiple OSNs by leveraging the knowledge of detecting similar spam within an OSN and using it in different OSNs. We chose Facebook and Twitter for our study targets, considering that they share the most similar features in posts, topics, and user activities, etc. We collected two datasets from them and performed analysis based on our proposed methodology. The results show that detection combined with spam in Facebook show a more than 50% decrease of spam tweets in Twitter, and detection combined with spam of Twitter shows a nearly 71.2% decrease of spam posts in Facebook. This means similar spam of one social network can significantly facilitate spam detection in other social networks. We proposed a new perspective of spam detection in OSNs.

With the rise of social media, people started sharing opinions or experiences, exchanging ideas, providing suggestions etc. by using different means of online communication. We, the human beings, like to take the opinions or suggestions of our loved ones for taking decisions in our day-to-day activities. Nowadays, online opinions are playing a central role in people decision-making process. When it comes to online scenario, these opinions can be expressed in different forms on different online environments - people use online social networks like Facebook to express their feelings in the form of a post; micro-blogging websites like Twitter provide people a way to interact and share their thoughts globally in the form of a tweet; users write reviews about products or services on review platforms to share their experiences; people taking advice or leaving comment on a blog network; discussion forums provide rich content to people to have discussions on different topics of interest in the form of question/answer posts or comments;

With the access to three large OSN user activity logs, including Yahoo! Blogs, Yahoo! Answers, and Yahoo! Del.icio.us, for a duration of up to 4.5 years, we are able to well analyze the patterns of content generation patterns of social network users in detail. Our analysis consistently shows that users' posting behavior in these networks exhibits strong daily and weekly patterns, but the user active time in these OSNs does not follow commonly assumed exponential distributions. We also show that the user posting behavior in these OSNs follows stretched exponential distributions instead of widely accepted power law distributions. Our discovery lays a foundation for user behavior analysis in social networks, and serves as a ground truth for anomaly detection and anti-spam.

In recent years, virtual meeting technology has become a part of the everyday lives of more and more people, often with the help of global online social networks (OSNs). These help users to build both social and professional links on a worldwide scale. The sharing of information and opinions are important features of OSNs. Users can describe recent activities and interests, share photos, videos, applications, and much more. The use of OSNs has increased at a rapid rate. Google+, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Sina Weibo, VKontakte, and Mixi are all OSNs that have become the preferred way of communication for a vast number of daily active users. Users spend substantial amounts of time updating their information, communicating with other users, and browsing one another’s accounts. OSNs obliterate geographical distance and can breach economic barrier. This popularity has made OSNs a fascinating test bed for cyberattacks comprising Cross-Site Scripting, SQL injection, DDoS, phishing, spamming, fake profile, spammer, etc. OSNs security: Principles, Algorithm, Applications, and Perspectives describe various attacks, classifying them, explaining their consequences, and offering. It also highlights some key contributions related to the current defensive approaches. Moreover, it shows how machine-learning and deep-learning methods can mitigate attacks on OSNs. Different technological solutions that have been proposed are also discussed. The topics, methodologies, and outcomes included in this book will help readers learn the importance of incentives in any technical solution to handle attacks against OSNs. The best practices and guidelines will show how to implement various attack-mitigation methodologies.
