    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting compromised messaging accounts may include maintaining a behavior database that associates a plurality of messaging accounts with messaging behaviors that typify each of the messaging accounts. The method may also include detecting an attempt by a user to send a message from a messaging account. In addition, the method may include determining that the messaging account has potentially been compromised by comparing features of the message with messaging behaviors associated with the messaging account in the behavior database. Finally, the method may include verifying that the user is an owner of the messaging account in response to the determination that the messaging account has potentially been compromised. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
