Background of New Feature Launch

In recent years, investor-focused message boards with high anonymity have become problematic due to malicious defamation and baseless rumors (fake news) that go beyond legitimate criticism of corporate performance or management. These inappropriate posts not only damage a company's brand image but also pose serious risks to listed companies by potentially causing unjustified stock price declines.

However, manually monitoring message boards with vast, constantly updated content places an immense time and mental burden on IR and legal personnel. Moreover, swift initial responses to malicious posts—such as takedown requests or disclosure of sender information—require early detection and objective evidence preservation.

To address these challenges faced by listed companies and their IR and PR teams, Tribeforce has now added Yahoo! Finance to Kannon's AI-powered automated monitoring platform.

Three Benefits of Yahoo! Finance Integration

1. AI Detection of Rumors and Defamation Specific to Investor Message Boards

In addition to X (formerly Twitter), Google Search, and Baksai, Kannon's AI now monitors specific stock message boards on Yahoo! Finance. By replacing manual monitoring with AI, this significantly reduces the workload for IR and legal departments.

Yahoo! Finance has been added as a monitored 'target'.

2. Risk Visualization via 4-Tier Scoring System

The AI analyzes post content and scores it across four levels: 'Normal', 'Positive', 'Negative', and 'Defamatory'. High-risk posts are prioritized on the dashboard based on objective criteria, independent of individual emotions or subjectivity, enabling rapid risk management.

The AI detects defamatory posts and performs scoring and analysis.

3. Seamless Transition to Legal Action via Malicious User Identification

The AI automatically identifies accounts that repeatedly post negative content or spread rumors about specific companies. Based on AI detection, screenshots with accurate timestamps and URLs are recorded and preserved, facilitating smooth takedown requests to platforms or legal actions—such as disclosure requests or damage compensation claims—through lawyers or other experts.

Detected posts can be saved as screenshots with URLs and timestamps.

Pricing Plans

Flexible plans are available, starting from free and scaling with usage.

- Free Plan (¥0/month): Monitor up to 1 protected entity and 2 platforms. Full functionality available (no credit card required).

- Paid Plan (from ¥10,000/month): Monitor up to 2 protected entities and 5+ platforms. Includes ¥10,000 monthly credit for post detection within the budget.

※ Protected Entity: Company names, store names, or personal names to be monitored. Multiple keywords (e.g., 'company name', 'CEO name', 'executive names') can be set under one protected entity.

Future Developments

Kannon will continue expanding its supported platforms, enhancing AI accuracy through real-world use, and strengthening its service offerings. The goal is to become the standard self-defense tool for all businesses and individuals suffering from online defamation and reputational damage.
