Application: Business email compromise detection system (Patent ID: US20240144190A1)
Cloudflare Inc. has developed a method and system for detecting Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks by analyzing emails received by an email recipient. The method involves extracting information such as the display name, email address, and domain of the email sender to determine a score indicating the probability of the email being from a legitimate source. By inputting the email content into classifiers based on message types, the system can identify the type of message and assess whether it is associated with a BEC attack, allowing for appropriate action to be taken.
Furthermore, the system can modify the email to include a status indicating if it is associated with a BEC attack or block its transmission to the recipient based on the determined score and message type. The method also considers factors like reputation scores associated with the IP address and email domain of the sender to enhance the accuracy of BEC attack detection. By utilizing a database to store and update scores based on frequency counting, Cloudflare's system provides an efficient and reliable approach to combatting email-based threats, particularly those related to BEC attacks.
