collecting, by the at least one processor, tracker parameters requested by the websites;
inferring, by the at least one processor based on the collected tracker parameters, event forwarding by detecting two or more of the websites that request a similar set of the tracker parameters;
comparing, by the at least one processor, first content of a first website of the two or more of the websites with second content of a second website of the two or more websites; and
performing, by the at least one processor, a security action in response to the comparison finding similarity of the first content to the second content.
