Published 18 Nov 2019 in cs.SI
Abstract: Social networks play a significant role in today's world. The importance of social networks, for example Facebook or Twitter, are undeniable. However, they also have many issues. One of which is the need for a defense mechanism against fake accounts. It is obviously not a trivial task to separate fake accounts from authentic ones. In this paper, we propose a ranking scheme, comprising of both graph based and feature based approaches to aid the detection of fake Facebook profiles. Utilizing Support Vector Machine (SVM) \cite{cortes1995} and SybilWalk \cite{JWZ17}, the model achieved high accuracy over the set of ten thousands Vietnamese Facebook accounts.
