The Twitter API is fairly easy to use (<a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">I made a bot that plays Zork with a friend two years ago<\/a>) and there is little protection against creating new accounts automatically. This ease of use used to be great for programmers but now Twitter has a huge bot problem.<\/p>\n<p>Bots have expanded beyond the traditional tactics. One <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">older site recommended<\/a> creating a bot network to \u201cget a database together of all your competitors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHave a rebuttal promoting your brand over their brands as messages. Whenever someone in your niche talks about the competition, send a tweet or even A DM (Direct Message), with your message of being the better product\/service, and to give you a try.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new system pales in comparison.<\/p>\n<p>In the latest example, a reporter for the Daily Beast, <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">Joseph Cox<\/a>, was kicked off of Twitter for being followed too quickly by an army of Twitter bots.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inset inset-sm inset-section\">\n<section class=\"aside section video-aside crunchreport collapse collapse-adjacent\">\n<h2 class=\"collapse-title section-title\">\n\t\tLatest <span>Crunch Report<\/span>\t<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"vid-list cf\">\n<li class=\"block vid-feature\">\n<p>\t<a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"><br \/>\n\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rsoftsolution.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/RSSPoster_PRO\/cache\/50669_59a8892ee9399f51eae47d93_o_U_v1.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Postmates Shows Signs of Hard Times | Crunch Report\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">Watch More Episodes<i class=\"icon-caret-right\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Cox can\u2019t talk about why he was banned \u2013 his conversation with Twitter was off the record \u2013 but after writing his post he saw a strange pattern.

In short, the bots \u201cread\u201d news stories and then followed their authors, one after the other, in lockstep.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1535239\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rsoftsolution.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/RSSPoster_PRO\/cache\/d2e8d_follower_following_2_crop_720_ag88pc.png?resize=640%2C383&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"383\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once this happens, Twitter\u2019s anti-bot tools spring into action and\u2026 ban the original poster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet that sink in for a moment: A huge collection of botted accounts \u2014 the vast majority of which should be easily detectable as such \u2014 may be able to abuse Twitter\u2019s anti-abuse tools to temporarily shutter the accounts of real people suspected of being bots!\u201d wrote security researcher <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">Brian Krebs<\/a>. \u201cThe botnet or botnets appear to be targeting people who are exposing the extent to which sock puppet and bot accounts on social media platforms can be used to influence public opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ordeal started when <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">Atlantic Council\u2019s Digital Forensic Research Lab<\/a> was investigating pro-Kremlin accounts after the events in Charlottesville and found itself quickly attacked by the same bot armies that actively spread misinformation and pro-Trump politics. After writing about <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">bots and intimidation tactics<\/a>, hackers quickly targeted the DFR for attack resulting in tweets and follows from \u201ctens of thousands of automated accounts [\u2026] that was apparently meant as a show of force.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inset inset-sm inset-section\"><!-- Begin: Crunchbase Shoal --><br \/>\n<!-- End: Crunchbase Shoal --><br \/>\n<\/aside>\n<p>A <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">fascinating Planet Money episode<\/a> further exposes the strange connection between media, bots, and Russian astroturfing.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the botnet essentially created a denial of service attack on the DFR\u2019s twitter accounts, sending hundreds of fake retweets to the account and essentially making it useless if standard Twitter notification settings are used. As you can see, the retweets exploded for a few hours and then slowed down. \u201cThus the massive retweeting did not spread to genuine Twitter users. Instead, the main effect was to bombard the Twitter feeds of the accounts mentioned in the post with an endless series of notifications,\u201d wrote Ben Nimmo.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1535235\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rsoftsolution.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/RSSPoster_PRO\/cache\/eb7f2_screen-shot-2017-09-01-at-12-58-44-pm.png?resize=640%2C188&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"188\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cox wrote a story based on DFR\u2019s research and quickly found himself a target of intimidation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hilarious that someone would even bother using bots on my account, but if bots were behind the temporary suspension, then Twitter may have some more issues around policing its platform,\u201d said Cox when I asked him about his experience.

However, thanks to Twitter\u2019s policies, messages and memes are spreading in ways probably never envisioned by the folks who made it easy to activate a Tweetbot.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<!-- End: WordPress Article Content --><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<small>Featured Image: Bryce Durbin\/TechCrunch<\/small><\/p>\n<p>Article source: http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/techcrunch\/social\/~3\/AquYZaITiv8\/<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter bots \u2013 robots that interact with humans \u2013 have a long history.
