Abstract

A method of operation of a URL spam detection system includes: identifying a feature dimension of a user action on a social networking system to detect anomalies; extracting URL chunks from a content associated with the user action; aggregating a non-content feature of the user action along the feature dimension into a URL distribution store to produce a feature distribution for each of the URL chunks; determining whether the feature distribution of a particular URL chunk within the URL chunks exceeds an expectation threshold for the feature dimension; and classifying the particular URL chunk as an illegitimate URL when the feature distribution exceeds the expectation threshold to restrict access to a particular URL chunk on a social networking system.
