Abstract
A computer-implemented method for prioritizing the monitoring of malicious uniform resource locators for new malware variants may comprise: 1) identifying at least one malicious uniform resource locator, 2) collecting priority information relating to the malicious uniform resource locator, wherein the priority information comprises information relevant to prioritizing monitoring of the malicious uniform resource locator for new malware variants, 3) determining, based on the priority information, a monitoring-priority level for the malicious uniform resource locator, and then 4) allocating, based on the monitoring-priority level, a monitoring resource for monitoring the malicious uniform resource locator. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
