Abstract
An improved technique involves searching for emails having a particular template generated by a phishing kit. Such a template typically includes field names corresponding to credentials that a customer inputs into a spoofed web site as part of a phishing attack. The phishing kit used in a phishing attack is typically configured to construct an email so that it arranges the credentials in a regular, tabular fashion. Accordingly, an administrator configures a receiver to search an email server for emails having a sequence of keywords in a format that matches the particular template.
