Abstract:
A method of tracking phishing activity is disclosed. A request to download a webpage hosted as part of a legitimate website on a server is initiated. The request includes identification data pertaining to at least one user computing device. The identification data is extracted from the request. A unique identifier corresponding to the extracted identification data is generated. Fingerprint data is generated using at least a subset of the extracted identification data. The unique identifier, the extracted identification data and the fingerprint data is stored. The fingerprint data is encoded into a program and/or data associated with the webpage to generate a modified webpage. The modified webpage is transmitted from the server to the user computing device in response to the request.
