Abstract

Embodiments of a system and methods for detecting social media designed to spread malicious information to 'viral' proportions are disclosed. Historical cascade event data from preselected social media accounts as well as information from related accounts is applied to one or more causality metrics to generate a set of causality values. Causality values are further refined and analyzed to determine how casual a user is with respect to a cascade as opposed to other similar users.
