Abstract
This disclosure relates to systems and methods for identifying fraudulent email addresses associated with an electronic payment service. In some implementations, a computing device receives an email with a prefix having a number of characters and characterized by a prefix length indicative of the number of characters in the prefix. The computing device identifies each of a number of bigrams is identified within the prefix, and determines a row and column distance for each bigram between two consecutive characters of the bigram as positioned on a keyboard. The computing device calculates a Euclidean distance between the two consecutive characters of the bigram based on the row and column distances, and determines a normalized distance based on the prefix length and an average of the Euclidean distances calculated for the number of bigrams in the prefix. The normalized distance is compared with a value to classify the email as suspicious or as not suspicious.
