Abstract(in English) Recently, microblog services such as Twitter are widely used. To prevent spoofing, Twitter provides verified account service which assures the account is not spoofing. However, not every famous people use verified account, and hence when a user tries to follow an account of a famous person, he/she should check whether the account is spoofing or not. If he/she follows spoofing account, he/she may believe fake information. This study proposes new algorithm which discriminate spoofing accounts, and performed a case study to evaluate the algorithm. As a result, the algorithm discriminated spoofing accounts and true accounts.
