Patent attributes
An illustrative computing system for a weblink content scanning system scans an electronic message for the presence of one or more weblinks. The computing system accesses, in a sandbox computing environment, content linked to the one or more weblinks. The computing system generates a hash of the accessed content and/or content linked to weblinks accessible via the accessed content. The computing system scans the content accessed via the one or more weblinks for a presence of malicious content and categorizes the scanned content accessed via the one or more weblinks (e.g., safe, malicious, and the like), associates the categorization with each corresponding hash, and saves such information to a data store for future analysis. Based on a result of this analysis, the computing system allows delivery of the original electronic message or generates a modified electronic message for delivery to a recipient device.
