Phishing Detection

Definitions

  1. The identification of phishing messages, domains, pages, or behaviors through content analysis, sender validation, threat intelligence, user reports, or behavioral signals. Effective phishing detection must account for both mass campaigns and highly tailored spear-phishing attempts.

    In plain English: Finding and recognizing phishing messages or phishing infrastructure.

    Example: "Phishing detection improved after the mail pipeline began correlating domain age, reply-to mismatch, and user report patterns."
