System and method for detecting and preventing malfeasant targeting of individual users in a network

Abstract

Systems, computer program products, and methods for detecting and preventing malfeasant targeting of individual users in a network are provided. The method includes identifying a malfeasant communication data packet directed to a target user in a network. The method also includes causing a transmission of a malfeasant report for the target user. The malfeasant report includes information relating to previous malfeasant communication data packet(s) directed to the target user and one or more user access attributes including an access level to the network for the target user. Based on the malfeasant report and the malfeasant communication data packet, the method further includes determining a malfeasant threat level. The malfeasant threat level indicates a threat of a malfeasant communication to the target user. The method further includes causing a transmission of a malfeasant threat level alert in an instance in which the malfeasant threat level meets or exceeds a predetermined threat threshold.
