Definition

Tracing a hostile website, account or campaign back to the person or group running it.

In plain words

Registration records, hosting details and shared infrastructure can link one attack to others. The answer is often uncertain.

Why it matters to a firm

We do not attribute. We never say who owns a look-alike or what it is for. What a firm needs first is to know the opening exists and to close it.
