Identification and Anonymization of Named Entities in Unstructured Information Sources for Use in Social Engineering Detection

arXiv:2604.09016v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This study addresses the challenge of creating datasets for cybercrime analysis while complying with the requirements of regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Organic Law 10/1995 of the Penal Code. To this end, a system is proposed for collecting information from the Telegram platform, including text, audio, and images; the implementation of speech-to-text transcription models incorporating signal enhancement techniques; and the evaluation of different Named Entity Recognition (NER) solutions, including Microsoft Presidio and AI models designed using a transformer-based architecture. Experimental results indicate that Parakeet achieves the best performance in audio transcription, while the proposed NER solutions achieve the highest f1-score values in detecting sensitive information. In addition, anonymization metrics are presented that allow evaluation of the preservation of structural coherence in the data, while simultaneously guaranteeing the protection of personal information and supporting cybersecurity research within the current legal framework.
