Claims17
A computerized method for filtering traffic associated with clicks, the clicks associated with activatable links in electronic content, comprising:
- opening a connection between a recipient computer including the electronic content having been opened from an electronic communication, and, an inspection computer;
- the inspection computer analyzing data parameters associated with the recipient computer and the click associated with the activation of an activatable link, to determine whether the click is legitimate;
- should the click be not legitimate, the click is blocked and the connection is terminated;
- and,
- should the click be legitimate, allowing the click to cause a browser associated with the recipient computer to be redirected to a target destination of the activatable link.
A computer system for filtering traffic associated with clicks, the clicks associated with activatable links in electronic content, comprising:
- a computerized module for opening a connection between a recipient computer including the electronic content having been opened from an electronic communication, and, an inspection computer;
- and,
- an inspection computer for analyzing data parameters associated with the recipient computer and the click associated with the activation of an activatable link, to determine whether the click is legitimate, the inspection computer causing blocking of the click and terminating of the connection, should the click be not legitimate, and causing a browser associated with the recipient computer to be redirected to a target destination of the activatable link.
