Zusammenfassung:	A method and system for tracking potentially fraudulent activities associated with one or more web sites is disclosed. In an example embodiment, the system includes a server communicatively coupled to a database. The database stores first data identifying a first spoof site, and a first identifier for a first document from the first spoof site. The identifier is based on a first content of the first document. The server receives second data identifying candidate site, retrieves a second document from the candidate site, and generates a second identifier for the second document based on a second content of the second document. The server also compares the second identifier to the first identifier. In response to determining, based on the comparing of the second identifier the first identifier, that a source of the first document is the same as a source of the second document, the server identifies the candidate site as a second spoof site.
