Programmers developed the Re: scam bot to combat Internet scammers. After receiving the address of the adventurers, the algorithm enters with them into an endless conversation, thus diverting attention from potential victims.
Mass electronic mailings have long been used as a means of obtaining personal data that can be used to access accounts and bank accounts. For 2014-2015 years, the damage from fraudsters amounted to about 1.2 billion dollars. However, it is difficult to combat such actions: in spite of the fact that technical means of protection exist, attackers constantly improve their methods.
Netsafe is engaged in the fight against illegal acts against Internet users. To this end, she created a Re: scam bot that responds to scam messages. In order for the artificial intelligence system to start a conversation, it is necessary to send an e-mail of the attacker to the mailing address indicated on the site. After that, the bot chooses one of the tactics of behavior (the creators call it "personalities") and sends the adventurers a message with the question. The system is programmed so that the conversation continues indefinitely - so the organization hopes to distract the scammers from real victims, forcing them to communicate with the computer.
An extract from one of the correspondence
- Do you want to become a member of a great Masonic organization? Do you want to receive $ 5 million each week? If you want to become successful, write to us. - Dear Masons. What a wonderful surprise. I will gladly join your secret society. Tell me, do you play in the evenings in the lotto? - We do not have bingo evenings. Please fill out the form below to receive $ 5 million. - It's delightful. But that I was not tracked, I will send you the account number on a single digit. Ready? 4. - There is no need. - 7.
In addition, Re: scam collects information about intruders and is trained in conversations with it. To date, the bot has already sent 16,000 letters, spending approximately 25 days and 14 hours of time criminals.
