Abstract
Some embodiments implement a targeted notification of potential victims of online fraud, such as fishing, among others. A security server protects a plurality of client devices by using telemetry data harvested from each device to construct a device-specific client profile. The client profile indicates a typical manner in which the respective device is used (e.g., which applications are installed and how much each installed application is being used). Features extracted from incoming messages are used to identify fraudulent messages and divide an incoming message stream into clusters. In response to identifying a cluster including fraudulent messages, some embodiments identify the recipients of cluster messages, and select a notification target from among the protected client devices according to a similarity between a client profile of the notification target and client profiles of the message recipients. A security notification is sent to the notification target.
