Abstract
Systems and methods for hindering cyber-attacks include: modifying a target website of a remote service provider, wherein modifying the target website includes: reconfiguring a structure of the target website to include a tattler, wherein when the tattler is executed at a non-authorized copy of the target website, the tattler is configured to transmit to a cyber-attack mitigation platform tattler data associated with the non-authorized copy of the target website; receiving the tattler data, wherein the tattler data includes website monitoring data, wherein the website monitoring data comprises a URL of the non-authorized copy of the target website; using the website monitoring data to evaluate the non-authorized copy of the target website, wherein the evaluating includes identifying whether the non-authorized copy of the target website comprises an attack website; and implementing one or more attack mitigation protocols when the non-authorized copy of the target website comprises the attack website.
