Abstract
Systems and methods for providing an improvement to computer security relating to electronic digital messages are provided. In an embodiment, a computing device receives an electronic digital message that is sent to a receiving account. The computing device identifies a sending account associated with the electronic digital message and from which the electronic digital message was sent. The computing device obtains metadata relating to the sending account, the metadata including received message data that is related to a number of messages that have been received by the sending account. The computing device determines that the sending account satisfies a received message criteria based, at least in part, on the received message data and, in response, performs a responsive action relating to the electronic digital message.
