Abstract
A trust level of an account is determined at least partly based on a degree of the memorability of an email address associated with the account. Additional features such as those based on the domain of the email address and those from the additional information such as name, phone number, and address associated with the account may also be used to determine the trust level of the account. A machine learning process may be used to learn a classification model based on one or more features that distinguish a malicious account from a benign account from training data. The classification model is used to determine a trust level of the account, and/or if the account is malicious or benign, and may be continuously improved by incrementally adapting or improving the model with new accounts.
