According to PhishLabs, “over 94% of detected malware is delivered by email.” According to US-CERT, “user education is the number one way to prevent effective phishing attempts in your organization.” The MalMail malicious email evaluator is intended to address malicious emails by providing end users a way to quickly and accurately assess suspected phishing emails. When a user forwards a suspected email to MalMail, the system will evaluate the messages content, metadata, links, and attachments and generate a report for the user and administrators. Reports will contain a maliciousness score to advise users on what to do with the email. Listing the reasons for the maliciousness score will help to educate users on what to look out for in phishing emails. Collecting this information for administrators will provide them greater transparency into the email borne threats to their organization.
