  • Mitigating bot scans of sensitive communications
    Publication number: 20170187690
    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to receive a message, determine that at least a portion of the message includes sensitive data, obfuscate the portion of the message that includes sensitive data, and communicate the message to an electronic device, where the obfuscated portion of the message can be recognized and understood by a recipient associated with the electronic device. In an example, the obfuscated portion of the message can be recognized and understood by a user without the need of special software or hardware but cannot be readily analyzed by a text parsing bot. In some instances, the obfuscation is a human intelligence task element.
