Abstract:
In an embodiment, the disclosed technologies monitor electronic message traffic between a network and a recipient computer system. An embodiment includes obtaining, from an electronic message received from the network, a triple of a display name, email address, and sending domain, determining a name score for triple, and determining characteristics of the electronic message. The name score of the triple and the characteristics of the electronic message may be used to determine whether the electronic message is a spoofing attack such as a business email compromise (BEC) attack. In response to determining that the electronic message is malicious, an embodiment may cause the network to at least one of modify, delay, re-route, or block transmission of the electronic message to the recipient computer system.
