Source verification device

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer device to cause the computer device to:

• receive a report from a first source;
• determine the first source is listed in an untrusted source repository;
• assign an information trust level value to the report from the first source based on receiving the report;
• select a second source from a plurality of second sources within the area around the first source, wherein the selected second source is one of the plurality of second sources that is farthest away from the first source;
• assign an information value to information from the second source based on receiving information from the second source;
• and
• confirm the report with the second user device of the second source based on determining the information value exceeds the information trust level value.

A system comprising:

• a processor, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage medium associated with a computing device;
• program instructions to receive a report from an unknown source;
• program instructions to determine that the unknown source is listed in an untrusted source repository;
• program instructions to select a second unknown source from a plurality of other unknown sources within an area around a location of the first unknown source, wherein the selected second unknown source is one of the plurality of second unknown sources that is farthest away from the first unknown source;
• program instructions to determine whether information from the second unknown source exceeds an information trust level value;
• and
• program instructions to repeat the selecting until information from a number of unknown sources exceeds the information trust level value,
• wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the processor via the computer readable memory.
