Anomaly Detection Engine

We are running continuous tests to filter out cheater

User Validation

• Users must have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.

• Users must log in with a valid email address from a known domain.

• Users’ IP addresses or phone numbers should not overlap with other accounts.

Measurement Integrity

• Locations should not be repeated during the measurement period.

• dB(A) values should vary throughout the measurement period.

• Measurements should not be taken in prohibited locations, such as bodies of water.

GPS Spoofing Prevention

• User speeds should not exceed 12 km/h (7.46 m/h).

• The distance between recorded locations should be consistent with the calculated speed.

• Locations should not form a straight line, which could indicate artificial generation.

Timing Consistency

• The timing between each location update should be consistent with the expected periodic reports from the sensor.

Hexagon Variations

• Noise levels should be consistent with previously measured levels in the same hexagons. Large deviations may indicate a problem.

Preventive Measures

• Additional actions may be taken if Silencio detects user behaviors inconsistent with typical human behavior.

Community Flagging System

• Silencio empowers users to anonymously flag suspicious activity, adding an extra layer of security.

In addition, Silencio employs undisclosed detection measures, including AI-driven tools, to identify potential anomalies. These safeguards—together with a strong community and active moderators—help maintain a healthy environment where genuine users can fully enjoy Silencio.
