System and methods for detection and mitigation of click-triggered computing threats

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• detecting a first click operation on a first window corresponding to a first URL, the first window displayed on a graphical user interface (“GUI”) of a computing system;
• determining a location of the first click operation on the GUI;
• detecting a second click operation on a second window corresponding to a second URL, the second window displayed on the GUI;
• determining a location of the second click operation on the GUI;
• and
• blocking the second click operation on the second window based on the location of the first click operation and the location of the second click operation.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• detecting a first click operation on a first window displayed on a graphical user interface (“GUI”) of a computing system;
• determining a time of the first click operation on the first window;
• detecting a second click operation on a second window over the first window, the second window displayed on the GUI;
• determining a time of the second click operation on the second window;
• and
• blocking the second click operation on the second window based on the time of the first click operation and the time of the second click operation.

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium including executable instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• detecting a first click operation on a first window corresponding to a first URL, the first window displayed on a graphical user interface (“GUI”) of a computing system;
• determining a time of the first click operation on the first window;
• detecting a second click operation on a second window corresponding to a second URL, the second window displayed on the GUI;
• determining a time of the second click operation on the second window;
• and
• blocking the second click operation on the second window based on the time of the first click operation and the time of the second click operation.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• detecting a first click operation on a first window corresponding to a first URL, the first window displayed on a graphical user interface (“GUI”) of a computing system;
• determining a time of the first click operation on the first window;
• detecting a second click operation on a second window corresponding to a second URL, the second window displayed on the GUI;
• determining a time of the second click operation on the second window;
• and
• blocking the second click operation on the second window based on the time of the first click operation and the time of the second click operation.
