Abstract
A computer-implemented method for tracing attacks. The method may include identifying a first website and determining that the first website loads an attack remotely through a second website. The method may also include determining that the second website hosts the attack. The method may include performing a security action, such as blocking downloads from the second website, with respect to the second website. The attack may be a drive-by download. Corresponding systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
