Abstract

An author of a malicious websites campaign (scam or phishing) likely uses a legitimate third-party service to facilitate the malicious campaign. An example includes legitimate CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart) services to conceal the malicious campaign from automated security scanners. A security service/platform can employ a detection pipeline that leverages use of CAPTCHA keys across websites of a malicious websites campaign. Websites that use CAPTCHA keys found in known malicious websites can at least be identified as suspect and communicated to firewalls.
