  • Patent number: 11924245
    Abstract: An email phishing detection mechanism is provided that utilizes machine learning algorithms. The machine learning algorithms are trained on phishing and non-phishing features extracted from a variety of data sets. Embodiments extract embedded URL-based and email body text-based feature sets for training and testing the machine learning algorithms. Embodiments determine the presence of a phishing message through a combination of examining an embedded URL and the body text of the message for the learned feature sets.
