Abstract

See full text

An electronic message analysis system of a cybersecurity network assesses whether a received message is a mock malicious message in response to, receiving a user activation action that indicates that the user has reported the received message as a potentially malicious message. The system does this by determining whether any header field of a header section of the message starts with a predetermined key. For any header field that starts with the predetermined key, the system determines whether a value that follows the predetermined key satisfies a trusted sender rule. If the value that follows the predetermined key satisfies the trusted sender rule, the system determines that the received message originated from a trusted sender. If the value that immediately follows the predetermined key does not satisfy the trusted sender rule, the system determines that the received message did not originate from a trusted sender.
