A system and method for detecting phishing cyberattacks. The method involves parsing a code segment retrieved using a suspect uniform resource locator (URL) to identify any links included in the code segment. From these links, additional code segments may be recovered in accordance with a code segment recovery scheme. Thereafter, analytics are performed on the retrieved and possibly recovered code segments. The analytics include determining whether any of the code segments is correlated with a code segment associated with a known prior phishing cyberattack. Upon completing the analytics, an alert message including meta-information associated with results from the analytics is generated to identify that the URL is associated with a known prior phishing cyberattack when one or perhaps a combination of code segments associated with the URL are correlated to any code segment associated with a known prior phishing cyberattack.

System and method for detecting cyberattacks impersonating legitimate sources

A system and method directed toward the deployment of one or more security plug-ins for software components (e.g., applications) that analyze incoming content and selectively prevent malicious portions of the content from being processed by the applications without limiting the processing and/or rendering of the legitimate (non-malicious) portions of the incoming content is described. Each of the security plug-ins is communicatively coupled to a published interface of a software component, such as an application. The security plug-in includes logic to (i) gain access to content received by the software component prior to processing of the content by the software component, (ii) parse the content into separate segments, (iii) analyze each content segment to determine whether the content segment is malicious or non-malicious, and (iv) permit rendering of one or more non-malicious content segments while preventing processing of one or more malicious content segments.
