  • Determining a source of malicious computer element in a computer network
    Patent number: 7958557
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a method for tagging communications from a user system, such that a source of a malicious computer element in a computer network may be determined, includes determining tag information for a user system in the computer network, the tag information physically identifying the user system. The method further includes detecting an attempt to send a communication from the user system and, in response to detecting the attempt to send a communication from the user system, attaching the tag information to the communication prior to sending the communication from the user system.
