Abstract:
Phishing attacks attempt to solicit valuable information such as personal information, account credentials, and the like from human users by disguising a malicious request for information as a legitimate inquiry, typically in the form of an electronic mail or similar communication. By tracking a combination of outbound web traffic from an endpoint and inbound electronic mail traffic to the endpoint, improved detection of phishing attacks or similar efforts to wrongly obtain sensitive information can be achieved.
