Abstract: A system for detecting fraudulent emails from entities impersonating legitimate senders that are intended to cause the recipients to unknowingly conduct unauthorized transactions, for example, transferring funds or divulging sensitive information. The system monitors emails being sent from and received at the protected domain to detect suspected fraudulent emails. The emails are monitored for, among other aspects, linguistic variations, changes in normal patterns of email communications, new or unfamiliar source domains. Suspicious emails can be held and flagged for later review, discarded or passed through with an alert raised indicating a review is needed.
