How to block usernames that provide false sense of authority? e.g. “YC_Admin”
Does anyone know of a good methodology or library that is set up to detect names that provide a false sense of authority?
There are a lot of impersonation attacks coming from within social networks themselves where attackers have names like
"Support System"
"[Company] Support"
"Technical Help"
"Admin Team"
These are hard to detect and if you go too broad you might ban legitimate names.
I was wondering if anyone has experience with either a library or implementation method.
A few examples:
1. Steam usernames / group names can't have "Support", "Steam" or "Valve" in them.
2. I'm sure Amazon bans the word "Amazon" in their forum usernames.
