在线骚扰者使用的攻击策略随着时间的流逝而发展为对目标造成日益增加的伤害。除了通过煽动和协调来扩展骚扰外，通常从事骚扰的在线社区可能是骚扰攻击策略的“创新”来源。我们使用这些社区成员发布的骚扰的煽动或呼吁作为镜头，可以通过这些镜头来整体测量和理解该生态系统。我们创建了一个过滤管道，以发现四个跨越多个平台的消息和帖子的大规模数据集中的14,679个煽动。我们的方法研究协调本身，检测煽动语言而不是个人攻击类型，以了解广泛的骚扰策略。特别是，这种方法使我们能够创建攻击策略的分类法。我们使用这种分类法来分类协调攻击者的首选方法，以及在不同平台上对各种骚扰的煽动比例。我们发现，超过50％的骚扰煽动包括向当局或其各自平台报告目标的电话。最后，我们为研究人员，平台，当局和反骚扰小组提供了有关行动和未来研究的建议。
Attack strategies used by online harassers have evolved over time to inflict increasing harm to their targets. In addition to scaling harassment through incitement and coordination, online communities that commonly engage in harassment are likely a source of "innovation" for harassment attack strategies. We use the incitements or calls to harassment posted by members of these communities as a lens through which to holistically measure and understand this ecosystem. We create a filtering pipeline to discover 14,679 incitements to harassment within four large-scale data sets of messages and posts that span multiple platforms. Our approach studies the coordination itself, detecting inciting language, rather than individual attack types, to understand a broad range of harassment strategies. In particular, this approach allows us to create a taxonomy of attack strategies. We use this taxonomy to categorize the preferred approaches of coordinated attackers and the proportion of incitements for various types of harassment on different platforms. We find that over 50% of the incitements to harassment included calls to report the target to authorities or their respective platforms. Finally, we provide suggestions for actions and future research that could be performed by researchers, platforms, authorities, and anti-harassment groups.
