• Abstract: Doxing refers to the practice of disclosing sensitive personal information about a person without their consent. This form of cyberbullying is an unpleasant and sometimes dangerous phenomenon for online social networks. Although prior work exists on automated identification of other types of cyberbullying, a need exists for methods capable of detecting doxing on Twitter specifically. We propose and evaluate a set of approaches for automatically detecting second- and third-party disclosures on Twitter of sensitive private information, a subset of which constitutes doxing. We summarize our findings of common intentions behind doxing episodes and compare nine different approaches for automated detection based on string-matching and one-hot encoded heuristics, as well as word and contextualized string embedding representations of tweets. We identify an approach providing 96.86% accuracy and 97.37% recall using contextualized string embeddings and conclude by discussing the practicality of our proposed methods.

We test RedactBuster against the most effective redaction technique and evaluate it using the publicly available Text Anonymization Benchmark (TAB) Our results show accuracy values up to 0.985 regardless of the document nature or entity type.

  We show that it is possible to subtly modify claim-salient snippets in the evidence and generate diverse and claim-aligned evidence. The attacks are also robust against post-hoc modifications of the claim. These attacks can have harmful implications on the inspectable and human-in-the-loop usage scenarios.

  Malicious advertisement URLs pose a security risk since they are the source of cyber-attacks. Existing malicious URL detection techniques are limited and to handle unseen features as well as generalize to test data. In this study, we extract a novel set of lexical and web-scrapped features and employ machine learning technique to set up system for fraudulent advertisement URLs detection.

  Adversarial attacks perturb images such that a deep neural network produces incorrect classification results. A promising approach to defend against adversarial attacks on natural multi-object scenes is to impose a context-consistency check. We present the first approach for generating context-consistent adversarial attacks that can evade the context-consistency check.

  We propose a multi-modal semantic forensic approach to handle both cheapfakes and visually persuasive deepfakes.

Unlike existing person-specific approaches, our method is also effective against attacks that focus on lip manipulation.
