Abstract

Methods and arrangements for controlling a spread of malicious information in a network. A viral spread of information is tracked, in a network comprising interconnected nodes. Malicious information in the viral spread of information is identified. A topic-specific sub-network of nodes prone to be affected by the malicious information is predicted, and the effect of the malicious information at the sub-network of nodes is neutralized, via initiating a spread of neutralizing information to the sub-network of nodes. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.
