Abstract
Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to include transforming subsequent unmarked contexts into additional tainted contexts in response to identifying a tainted event as a link between a prior tainted context and the subsequent unmarked contexts. Further operations may include publishing an event horizon to a display. The event horizon may include the tainted event and all other events associated with a linked chain of contexts that include the prior tainted context and the additional tainted contexts, where the tainted event and the other events share the taint in common. In this way, a taint associated with malicious behavior can be propagated and tracked as it moves between contexts. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
