    Task Overview: The Daily Monitoring of the Classified Section ensures the continuous protection of the platform and its users by promptly addressing suspicious or harmful content. This task involves identifying posts that may contain spam or malware and taking the necessary steps to remove or quarantine them.


    1. Flagging Suspicious Posts

    • Monitor Classified Listings:
      • Review all newly submitted classified posts for any unusual patterns, such as repetitive content, links to external sites, or suspicious keywords (e.g., “free”, “earn money”, “click here”).
      • Use automated tools and filters to identify potential spam based on predefined criteria (e.g., frequency of similar posts, use of flagged words).
    • Flag Spam Content:
      • Identify posts that could be considered spam (e.g., irrelevant ads, overly promotional content).
      • Flag suspected posts for further review by the admin team, marking them as “under review.”
    • Review User Profiles:
      • Check the profiles of users who frequently post classified ads. Look for unusual activity or any profile details that indicate they may be spam accounts.

      • If a post is determined to contain spam or malware, immediately remove the content from the platform to prevent further exposure to users.
      • Notify the user (if identifiable) about the action taken and the reason (e.g., violation of terms and conditions).
    • Quarantine Procedure:
      • If there is uncertainty about the nature of the content, quarantine the post temporarily for further investigation.
      • Place quarantined posts in a separate, isolated section where they cannot be accessed by regular users until a thorough investigation is completed.
    • Verification of Malware:
      • If malware is suspected, run security checks on the post’s content and links using a trusted security software.

    4. Security Software and Tools Utilization
