Abstract
An illicit website identifying (IWI) computing device is described herein, the IWI computing device configured to store a log of suspect illicit websites, the log including website content associated with each suspect illicit website. Each suspect illicit website is associated with a respective merchant. The IWI computing device is also configured to receive transaction data for at least one transaction initiated at a first suspect illicit website, the first suspect illicit website included within the log of suspect illicit websites, and analyze the received transaction data to identify one or more transactions including at least a portion of the website content associated with the first suspect illicit website. The IWI computing device is further configured to identify the first suspect illicit website and the merchant associated therewith as illicit for further investigation, and generate an identification report including the identified illicit website and merchant.
