IDEA : We are here to propose a idea about “fake profile detection system” which can detect a fake profile on social media. Our
major goal is to ensure the Security & Privacy of the public (specially for teenage child & women ) who are using social media
platforms.
Proposed solution:- We are come with a Solution to designed a System named “Mithyadarpan “ to enhance cyber
safety of users by using features like Data extraction and execution , preprocessing, logic pattern analysis of data and
comparison of IP location, Multiple Account detection and Cross-site scripting to detect a fake social media account
Feature Extraction: Identify key features that distinguish fake profiles from genuine ones, such as profile picture presence,
account age, follower to following ratio, and activity patterns.
Cons:- IP ban is not an effective measure because Scammer may use public Wi-Fi and in such cases, banning IP will affect other innocent Users. We are
aware of the account exploit and are working continuously to counter this loophole. Currently, we will ban accounts immediately after misconduct.
This makes scammer using fake accounts relatively meaningless.

TECHNICAL APPROACH
• PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
Frontend:- html5 ,CSS & JavaScript
Backend:- Python, Node.js, Java
IMPACTS
• One of the main problems is social bots or harmful accounts. They can play both a negative and a
positive role, but most often they are a tool for **reducing trust in social networks, mass theft of
personal data.**-
• This not only erodes trust in legitimate sources of information but also has real-world
consequences, such as **influencing elections or public health decisions**. Furthermore, fake
social media profiles can facilitate online harassment and cyberbullying.
• Spread fake and false information-
• Damage reputation of victim-
• Send false friend requests-
• Lure children and teen agers with fake identity-
• Makes the friends and family of victim vulnerable to cyber-attacks like phishing, fake links,
malware attacks etc.- Financial fraud may also happen by requesting money using
messenger/message services.
BENEFITS
• Public Safety and Security :-By using machine learning algorithms to identify fake accounts, organizations
can prevent fraud and protect their users financial information.
• It is important to verify social media accounts because
• It helps to distinguish real accounts from fake or impersonator accounts
• Verification adds credibility to the account and assures followers that the information and content shared by the account
