-一种新型的地下非法药物宣传，即当地搜索服务(例如，当地知识面板、地图搜索、语音搜索)上的非法毒品商业清单，越来越多地被不法分子用来在互联网上宣传和销售受管制物质。不法分子利用有问题的上游本地数据经纪人，以放松对数据质量的控制为特色，发布促进非法毒品业务的清单。这样的推广反过来污染了主要下游搜索提供商的知识库，并通过网络、地图和语音搜索进一步触及了大量受众。据我们所知，迄今几乎没有采取任何行动来了解这一新的非法促销活动的范围、影响和技术，更不用说大规模查明此类非法毒品企业名单的任何努力了。在这篇论文中，我们报告了第一次对本地搜索服务上的非法毒品企业列表进行的测量研究。我们的发现揭示了脆弱和监管较少的本地商业上市生态系统，以及此类非法活动的普遍性，以及对本地搜索受众的影响。
—A new type of underground illicit drug promotion, illicit drug business listings on local search services (e.g., local knowledge panel, map search, voice search), is increasingly being utilized by miscreants to advertise and sell controlled substances on the Internet. Miscreants exploit the problematic upstream local data brokers featuring loose control on data quality to post listings that promote illicit drug business. Such a promotion, in turn, pollutes the major downstream search providers’ knowledge bases and further reaches a large audience through web, map, and voice searches. To the best of our knowledge, little has been done so far to understand this new illicit promotion in terms of its scope, impact, and techniques, not to mention any effort to identify such illicit drug business listings on a large scale. In this paper, we report the first measurement study of the illicit drug business listings on local search services. Our findings have brought to light the vulnerable and less regulated local business listing ecosystem and the pervasiveness of such illicit activities, as well as the impact on local search audience.
