Abstract
Techniques for detecting malicious files are disclosed. In one embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for detecting malicious files comprising one or more computer processors. The one or more computer processors may be configured to collect at least one of a file or an attribute of the file. The one or more computer processors may further be configured to determine if the file is malicious. The one or more computer processors may further be configured to identify, if the file is determined to be malicious, a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and a time frame associated with the file. The one or more computer processors may further be configured to detect a threat based on the URL and the time frame.
