Abstract
A method of determining a probability that a received email comprises a phishing attempt may comprise analyzing a link therein to determine whether the link comprises a phishing attempt. This determination may comprise comparing features of the link with records stored in a remote database to determine whether the link comprises a phishing attempt. It may be determined that the link comprises a phishing attempt if there is a match. If the compared features do not match the records stored in the remote database, a multi-dimensional input vector may be built from features of the link, which input vector may then be input into a phishing probability engine. The probability that the link comprises a phishing attempt may be computed by the phishing probability engine. Thereafter, the received email may be acted upon according to the computed probability that the link comprises a phishing attempt.
