Abstract / Description of output
When people receive malicious emails that claim to be from a trusted entity like their bank, they can be frightened and uncertain about how safe it is to ignore or delete the message. The uncertainty is hard on users and it may lead them to engage in unsafe actions like clicking on links ``just to check.'' In this work we look at how to provide quick and accurate support to people who report phishing so that they can confidentially take appropriate action. For this, we will build a phishing-advice tool, PhishEd, that allows people to report malicious emails that they encounter and get automatically generated advice in response that is contextual to the suspicious email. The advice is meant to both help them make an informed decision about the reported email as well as provide some education to help them in handling future malicious emails better.
