Crowd-sourcing as a system attack mechanism
"Serf and Turf: Crowdturfing for Fun and Profit"
http://j.mp/I2jMEx (www2012.org [PDF])
"Popular Internet services in recent years have shown that
remarkable things can be achieved by harnessing the power of the
masses using crowd-sourcing systems. However, crowd-sourcing
systems can also pose a real challenge to existing security
mechanisms deployed to protect Internet services. Many of these
security techniques rely on the assumption that malicious activity
is generated automatically by automated programs."
