Abstract
A system and method for analyzing electronic messages for phishing detection are disclosed. In one example, email characteristics are obtained by parsing a received email message from a sender/sender organization to a recipient/recipient organization based on a set of predetermined email characteristics; the email characteristics of the received email message are then compared with email characteristics associated with the recipient/recipient organization and/or the sender/sender organization, and the received email message is then declared as a phishing electronic message based on the outcome of the comparison.
