| Summary: | Hoaxes are non malicious viruses. They live on deceiving human's perception by
conveying false claims as truth. Throughout history, hoaxes have actually able to
influence a lot of people to the extent of tarnishing the victim's image and
credibility. Moreover, wrong and misleading information has always been a
distortion to a human's growth. Some hoaxes were created in a way that they can
even obtain personal data by convincing the victims that those data were required for
official purposes.
Hoaxes are different from spams in a way that they masquerade themselves through
the address of those related either directly or indirectly to us. Most of the time, they
appear as a forwarded message and sometimes from legit companies such as PayPal.
Having known the threat that this non malicious brought, it is important for us to
address this problem seriously by providing an automatic hoax detection system as
the solution to this matter. Consciousness and Awareness are definitely the first step
to be taken for this matter |
