  • Patent number: 11949713
    Abstract: Introduced here are computer programs and computer-implemented techniques for discovering malicious emails and then remediating the threat posed by those malicious emails in an automated manner. A threat detection platform may monitor a mailbox to which employees of an enterprise are able to forward emails deemed to be suspicious for analysis. This mailbox may be referred to as an “abuse mailbox” or “phishing mailbox.” The threat detection platform can examine emails contained in the abuse mailbox and then determine whether any of those emails represent threats to the security of the enterprise. For example, the threat detection platform may classify each email contained in the abuse mailbox as being malicious or non-malicious. Thereafter, the threat detection platform may determine what remediation actions, if any, are appropriate for addressing the threat posed by those emails determined to be malicious.

  • Patent number: 11946591
    Abstract: A foldable stand has a base, a riser, and a switching mechanism. The riser is located on the base. The switching mechanism connects the base and the riser such that the riser selectively pivots relative to the base from an upright position to a folded position. The switching mechanism has a locked status and a released status. In the locked status, the switching mechanism prevents the riser from pivoting relative to the base. In the released status, the switching mechanism allows the riser to pivot relative to the base from an upright position to a folded position. The switching mechanism is configured to be switched from the locked status to the released status by rotation of the riser around a centerline of the riser.
