Abstract: Systems and methods for redacting malicious URLs and other activatable content from messages are disclosed. A content analysis system may receive a text message or a multimedia message and determine whether a URL is contained in such a message. If so, the content analysis system may determine the maliciousness of the URL using various techniques, redacting the URL from the message before providing it to the user device if the URL is determined to be malicious. The original message may be stored for user access if desired.
