Abstract
In an embodiment, a data processing method providing an improvement in computer security, comprises selecting a uniform resource location (URL) for classification wherein the selected URL is associated with a webpage; determining a URL risk score for the selected URL; comparing the URL risk score to a URL risk threshold; in response to determining that the URL risk score exceeds the URL risk threshold, determining a maliciousness risk score for the webpage content associated with the selected URL; comparing the maliciousness risk score to a maliciousness risk threshold; and classifying the URL based on the comparison between the maliciousness risk score and the maliciousness risk threshold; in response to determining that the maliciousness risk score exceeds the maliciousness risk threshold, classifying the URL as malicious; in response to determining that the maliciousness risk score does not exceed the maliciousness risk threshold, classifying the URL as benign.
