URL category "URL Filtering"

[Dave]

Can someone tell me what the URL category "URL Filtering" holds? Can't seem to find any details about it.

I have the impression and it looks like that a lot of malicious sites are categorized in this and they look to be DGA domains as well for the majority.

Does this confirm my hypothesis or is there another explanation to this?

Apparently, this category holds ALL websites CheckPoint has ever seen.

So, also the websites it blocks, like malicious sites, have been categorized under the "URL Filtering" category.

Answering my own question but still helpful i believe for many more people who are not aware about this.
