Présentation : In late January of this year, Twitter released Vine, a social video-sharing service that it acquired in late 2012. Initially launched on iOS, Vine has similar characteristics to Twitter as videos are intentionally short users are only allowed six seconds and to the point. Earlier this month, an Android version of Vine was released and it was reported that the service had amassed over 13 million users on iOS alone. With its increasing popularity, it comes as no surprise that spammers are targeting Vine and its users. Last year, we reported on the rise of Instaspam as a result of the mobile photo sharing application s soaring popularity. Vine Spammers 1 edit.png Figure 1. Vine spammer likes and comments on video The tactics being employed in Vine spam range from leaving comments on videos Figure 1 , following users Figure 2 , and tagging videos with hashtags Figure 3 .

Spam account posts Vine Video As of right now, the majority of Vine spam pertains to follower scams, offering users a way to increase the number of followers they have on the service. Vine Spammers 4 edit.png Figure 4. Vine spam information request In the initial phases, spammers requested that users provide their Vine email address. They have since changed their labels Figure 4 and now ask for Vine user names instead. Vine Spammers 5 edit.png Figure 5. Spam campaign application install request Once a user submits their Vine user name, they are redirected to a landing page claiming that the 100 free followers is contingent on them installing a certain application. Clicking on any of the links on this page will redirect users to a legitimate application on their respective application store. Scammers are earning their money through affiliate programs that offer money for each successful installation of an application. The following is a list of domains observed in Vine spam comments and posts vinefollows.com vine250.com vinejump.com vineluv.com vinefree.com vinebang.com vinefamous.com vinefollowers.me popmyvine.com Reporting and deleting spam Users can do their part to help combat spam on Vine by reporting spam profiles and deleting spam comments from their videos.

Video comment button Once you are on the comments page, swipe to the left on the spam comment that you wish to delete. You will be presented with a red button with an X on it Figure 10 . Click on the button to delete the comment. Vine Spammers 10 edit.png Figure 10. Delete spam comment At this time, there is no option to delete a comment and report a user, so you will need to report the user first before deleting their comment. While we are currently only seeing free follower spam, it is only a matter of time before we start seeing offers for free stuff. And, as I have written before, free stuff on social networks is not free.
