Zusammenfassung:An indication is received that a first online platform has undergone/is undergoing a first electronic attack made by one or more actors engaged in online malicious actions with the first online platform. Responsive to the indication of the first electronic attack, one or more vulnerability characteristics of the first online platform are determined, where the vulnerability characteristics are associated with the first electronic attack. A plurality of other online platforms are analyzed to identify a second online platform that shares at least one of the vulnerability characteristics with the first online platform. Based on the determining and/or the analyzing, the second online platform is predicted to be a potential target for a second electronic attack having an attack vector in common with the first electronic attack that corresponds to the shared vulnerability characteristics. An action is performed to mitigate potential damage of the second electronic attack.
