contents Technological progress in the last few decades has granted an increasing number of people access to social media platforms such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram. Consequently, the potential risks associated with these services have also risen due to users exploiting these services for malicious purposes. The platforms have tools capable of detecting and blocking dangerous users, but they primarily focus on the content posted by users and usually overlook additional factors, such as the relationships among users. Another key aspect to consider is that users' beliefs and interests evolve over time. Therefore, a user who can be considered safe at one moment might later become malicious, and vice versa. This work describes a novel approach to node classification in temporal graphs, aimed at classifying users in social networks. The method was evaluated on a real-world scenario and was compared to a state-of-the-art system that treats the network as a static entity. Experiments showed that taking into account the temporal evolution of the network, in terms of node features and connections, is beneficial.
