Abstract

Techniques for an email-security system to screen emails, extract information from the emails, analyze the information, assign probability scores to the emails, and classify the emails as likely fraudulent or not. The system may analyze emails for users and identify fraudulent emails by analyzing the contents of the emails. The system may evaluate the contents of the emails to determine probability score(s) which may further determine an overall probability score. The system may then classify the email as fraudulent, or not, and may perform actions including blocking the email, allowing the email, flagging the email, etc. In some instances, the screened emails may include legitimate brand domain addresses, names, images, URL(s), and the like. However, the screened emails may contain a reply-to domain address that matches a free email service provider domain. In such instances, the email-security system may assign a probability score indicative that the screened email is fraudulent.
