ABSTRACT:
Described are systems and methods for counteracting attempts at unauthorized use of information systems. An error message generated in response to an error in the information system is received, where the error message includes a set of information describing the error. The received error message is then translated into an obfuscated message, where the obfuscated message replaces at least a portion of the set of information describing the error with a set of alternative information. The obfuscated message is then presented to a user via a user interface.
