Transaction destinations are identified by identifying requests for a login page of a web server for a financial institution and determining a referring website for each of the requests; classifying the referring websites into classes, each of the classes having a risk rating; identifying logins to access the web server and determining a user associated with each login; associating each of the logins with one of the requests and the referring website for that request; for each of the users, identifying transactions occurring within a time period from when the login was initiated; for each of the transactions occurring within the time period, associating a transaction destination of that transaction with the referring website for that login; and assigning a risk rating to each of the transaction destinations based at least in part on a risk rating of the class of the associated referring website.
