Russian Researchers Develop Program to Detect Fraudster Scripts
The system is designed to identify a scammer’s speech patterns at the early stage of an attack.
At Pyatigorsk State University, researchers are developing software to detect fraudulent call scripts, TASS reported, citing Ekaterina Efimova, professor in the Department of Creative and Innovative Management and Law.
Efimova said the university operates a psycholinguistic analysis laboratory focused on studying voice interactions between scammers and victims. Specialists are building a software system capable of capturing such dialogues in real time. Researchers found that fraud scripts carry a distinctive linguistic signature. The program analyzes not what is being said, but how speech is structured.
Identifying Manipulation
The tool developed by the researchers will detect and flag manipulative patterns. A mathematical model based on speech analysis will record conversations with scammers. The development is expected to strengthen Russia’s position in cybersecurity.
