Abstract
A spammy app detection system may search a database for any new social media application discovered during a recent time period. A spammy app detection algorithm can be executed on the spammy app detection system on an hourly basis to determine whether any of such applications is spammy (i.e., posting to a social media page anomalously). The spammy app detection algorithm has a plurality of stages. When a new social media application fails any of the stages, it is identified as a spammy app. The spammy app detection system can update the database accordingly, ban the spammy application from further posting to a social media page monitored by the spammy app detection system, notify an entity associated with the social media page, further process the spammy application, and so on. In this way, the spammy app detection system can reduce digital risk and spam attacks.
