Abstract

Technologies described herein facilitate generating and deploying dynamic false user accounts. Embodiments disclosed herein obtain a false tenant model that is usable to dynamically populate a false user account with messages and/or data files. Rather than containing only a static set of documents, a 'dynamic' false user account is continually populated with fresh documents. This results in dynamic false user accounts appearing practically indistinguishable from real user accounts that are continually populated with new real email messages and/or new real hosted files as they are used by account owners to perform legitimate business activities. The realistic nature of the dynamic false user accounts described herein significantly reduces the ability of malicious entities to identify a user account as being false in nature.
