The present invention relates to an information security bot system for
the mitigation of damage upon its victims, or enforcement of Identity
Theft laws, by searching and inducing transactions with perpetrators of
identity crimes (e.g. identity theft.). Searching is accomplished using a
software spider search robot ("bot") that turns any transmitted personal
information in to a bit-keyed array that cannot betray any of the known
information of the users. Transactions with perpetrators are induced and
affected using machine generated natural language techniques. In
instances of success, data (actual, bogus or "poisoned") is transferred
to or received from said perpetrators. This data can be used to protect
victims or to ensnare perpetrators. In addition, the invention relates to
offensive and proactive prevention of identity theft and other related
crimes.
