Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to providing a flexible and automated system for automatically detecting when emails include harmful content, flagging the emails, providing interactive reporting functionality, and providing follow-up enforcement actions to protect users. A computing platform may intercept an email in transit to an email server. Subsequently, the computing platform may analyze the email and generate at least one unique link for reporting suspicious content associated with the email. Next, the computing platform may generate an email warning tag comprising text information and the at least one unique link for reporting the suspicious content associated with the email. Then, the computing platform may inject the email warning tag into the email to produce a modified email comprising content from the email and the email warning tag, and may send the modified email to the email server.
