Patent attributes
Methods and systems are presented for dynamically adjusting a risk classification of a risk source based on classifications of one or more other risk sources. The risk engine may first classify a first risk source as a first risk type based on an initial analysis of the first risk source. Subsequent to classifying the first risk source as the first risk type, the risk engine may determine that a second risk source is associated with a second risk type. Based on the determination that the second risk source is associated with the second risk type, the risk engine may re-classify the first risk source as the second risk type. The risk engine may then use the reclassification of the first risk source to improve network security of an online service provider.
