Morning Security Brief: Social Media Software, by Carlton Purvis
02/11/2013 -
►Raytheon, the world’s fifth largest defense contractor, has created a new software that can track people on social media and predict future behavior based on online activity. The software “can display on a spider diagram the associations and relationships between individuals online by looking at who they have communicated with over Twitter. It can also mine data from Facebook and sift GPS location information from Foursquare, a mobile phone app used by more than 25 million people to alert friends of their whereabouts. The Foursquare data can be used to display, in graph form, the top 10 places visited by tracked individuals and the times at which they visited them,” The Guardian reports. Raytheon says it hasn’t sold the product to any companies yet.
