Abstract:
A method and system of identifying a computing device vulnerability is provided. Social media communication is monitored. Social media threads that are related to a vulnerability, based on the monitored social media communication, are identified, filtered, and categorized into one or more predetermined categories of computing device vulnerabilities. Upon determining that a number of social media posts related to the vulnerability is above a first predetermined threshold, one or more dependable social media threads in a same one or more categories as the vulnerability are searched. One or more possible root causes of the vulnerability are determined from the searched dependable social media threads. A validity score for each of the one or more possible root causes is assigned. A possible root cause from that has a highest validity score that is above a second predetermined threshold is selected to be the root cause of the vulnerability.
