Abstract
A candidate suspicious website is identified. A plurality of lightweight features associated with the candidate suspicious website is identified. A filter score is determined based on the plurality of lightweight features, wherein the filter score indicates a likelihood that the candidate suspicious website is a malicious website. Whether the filter score exceeds a threshold is determined. Responsive at least in part to the filter score exceeding the threshold it is determined that the candidate suspicious website is a suspicious website. Whether the suspicious website is a malicious website is determined by identifying software downloaded to the computing system responsive to accessing the suspicious website and determining whether the software downloaded to the computing system is malware based on characteristics associated with the downloaded software.
