AI Security, Digital Forensics & Bot Detection Specialist Needed (Dating App Investigation)

Project Overview We are seeking an experienced AI Security Specialist, Cybersecurity Consultant, Digital Forensics Expert, or Threat Intelligence Analyst to conduct a comprehensive investigation into suspected coordinated bot activity occurring on the dating platform. The goal is to determine whether automated accounts, AI-generated profiles, bot networks, scraping activity, impersonation attempts, or other forms of platform manipulation are influencing account interactions and content visibility. This engagement is strictly limited to lawful digital forensics, cybersecurity assessment, behavioral analysis, threat intelligence, and defensive security recommendations. Background We have observed patterns that may indicate: Repeated exposure to potentially fake or AI-generated profiles Suspicious engagement behaviors Automated messaging patterns Potential account targeting Profile scraping concerns Recommendation feed anomalies Coordinated activity designed to influence user interactions We are seeking an independent expert assessment to determine whether these patterns represent normal platform behavior or indicators of coordinated manipulation. Scope of Work Phase 1: Account & Platform Behavior Investigation Perform an investigation into potential indicators of: AI-generated profiles Automated accounts Bot networks Content manipulation Recommendation feed anomalies Engagement farming Profile cloning Identity spoofing Coordinated account activity Deliverables Analysis of suspicious account behaviors Identification of automation indicators Assessment of coordinated activity patterns Confidence rating of suspected bot activity Phase 2: Digital Forensics & Security Review Assess whether there are indicators of: Account compromise Credential exposure Unauthorized access Device security issues Third-party data exposure Tracking or profiling mechanisms Review Areas Account security posture Authentication settings Device security assessment Session activity review Connected applications and services Privacy settings analysis Deliverables Security findings report Risk assessment Recommended remediation actions Phase 3: AI Bot Detection & Behavioral Analysis Investigate whether suspicious accounts exhibit characteristics commonly associated with: AI-generated profile content Automated conversation systems Large language model generated responses Synthetic profile images Fake engagement campaigns Bot amplification networks Deliverables Bot detection findings Behavioral analysis report Risk scoring framework Indicators of compromise (IOCs) Phase 4: Threat Intelligence & Attribution Assessment Where legally and technically feasible, identify: Potential infrastructure patterns Geographic activity indicators Hosting providers Network patterns Shared account characteristics Campaign similarities We are interested in understanding whether there are identifiable patterns that suggest coordinated operations. Important Note Any attribution efforts must be conducted using lawful investigative techniques, publicly available intelligence, user-provided evidence, and industry-standard cybersecurity methodologies. No unauthorized access, intrusion, hacking, or circumvention of platform protections is permitted.

Similar investigations you have performed. Your methodology for identifying coordinated bot activity. Expected timeline. Estimated cost. Examples of reports or deliverables (redacted if necessary). Compliance & Ethics This project is limited to lawful cybersecurity assessment, digital forensics, behavioral analysis, threat intelligence, and defensive security recommendations. No unauthorized access, account compromise, intrusion, surveillance, credential harvesting, or activities that violate applicable laws or platform terms of service are permitted. Project Type: Fixed Price Preferred Experience Level: Expert Duration: 2–4 Weeks Budget: Open to Proposals Based on Experience and Deliverables This version will attract legitimate cybersecurity professionals while keeping the scope broad enough to investigate bot activity, scraping concerns, and potential targeting without requesting anything unlawful.
