Controlling and remotely monitoring accessed network data

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a network application program of a computing system, network data of a network accessible by the host, the network data comprising one or more contents;
• semantically analyzing, by a content recognizer of the computing system, the one or more contents to determine whether any of the one or more contents indicates a possible attempt to solicit personally-identifiable information;
• and
• issuing, by an alert generator of the computing system, an alert to a monitoring device external to the host if the one or more contents is determined to indicate a personally-identifiable information solicitation.

An apparatus comprising:

• a network interface to receive network data of a network accessible by the apparatus, the network data comprising one or more contents;
• processor coupled to the network interface;
• a content analyzer to be operated by the processor to semantically analyze the one or more contents to determine whether any of the one or more contents indicates an attempt to solicit personally-identifiable information;
• and
• an alert generator to be operated by the processor to issue an alert, via the network interface, to a monitoring device external to the apparatus if the one or more contents is determined to indicate a personally-identifiable information solicitation.

An article of manufacture comprising:

• a plurality of machine accessible instructions stored on a storage medium and designed to program an apparatus to:
• receive network data of a network accessible by the apparatus, the network data comprising one or more contents;
• semantically analyze the one or more contents to determine whether any of the one or more contents indicates a possible attempt to solicit personally-identifiable information;
• and
• issue an alert, via the network interface, to a monitoring device external to the apparatus if the one or more contents is determined to be a possible personally-identifiable information solicitation.
