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.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for characterizing communications going to and from a first domain, the apparatus comprising:\n a processor; and a memory containing program instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to manage a fraudulent communications detection system and to, for a predetermined time period, obtain each communication going to and from the first domain and, for each obtained communication:\n analyze one or more parameters of the obtained communication; \n store the analyzed one or more parameters of the obtained communication with respect to a sender of the obtained communication and one or more recipients of the obtained communication; \n identify one or more relationships among the sender and the one or more recipients of the obtained communication; \n extrapolate and characterize each of the identified one or more relationships as a function of the analyzed one or more parameters; and \n update a store of the extrapolated relationships and associated characterizations of communications among the sender and the one or more recipients of the obtained communication, \n wherein the store of extrapolated relationships and associated characterizations of communications among the sender and the one or more recipients is operative to improve operation of the fraudulent communications detection system associated with the processor.
