Kaspersky Lab yesterday
introduced the Krab Krawler system, which in real time scans all published tweets for malicious links.
At the presentation of the new system, representatives of the “Laboratories” published statistics on Twitter. It turns out that links are present in 26% of all tweets. Now the program scans about 500,000 links per day and detects from 100 to 1000 attempts at attacks. All of them are stored in a database on the server, which is updated every 2-12 hours.
Interestingly, Twitter also uses its own filtering system (seemingly the same as that used by Google), but representatives of Kaspersky Lab claim that their development is much more efficient and detects 95% of attacks.
