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 10):
An apparatus for characterizing a communication going to or coming 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, for the communication going to or coming from the first domain, to:\n analyze one or more parameters of the communication; \n identify one or more relationships among the sender and the one or more recipients of the communication; \n extrapolate and characterize each of the identified one or more relationships as a function of the analyzed one or more parameters; \n compare the analysis of the one or more parameters and the extrapolated and characterized relationships to a store of extrapolated relationships and associated characterizations of previously received or sent communications associated with the first domain; \n generate a risk score for the communication as a function of the comparison to the stored relationships and associated characterizations; and \n process the communication as a function of a comparison of the generated risk score to one more predetermined threshold values comprising:\n an alerting threshold value, \n a notification threshold value, and \n a communications labeling threshold value.
