  potential phishing email

Inspiration

Recently there has been a rise in phishing emails due to the ease of creation through AI, our extension is combatting that issue.

What it does

Our project essentially reads through an email, checks for keywords and other potential signs as to why an email could be a phishing email.

How we built it

We built this utilizing an ML model which determines whether or not the email is a phishing email, then those results are averaged with the results of a heuristic check determining an overall score for whether or not the email is malicious.

What we learned

We improved our ML as well as front-end skills.

What's next for PhishGuard

In the future, we will improve our model with a larger data set. Along with this we will make sure to update the heuristics in order to create a more accurate score. Outside of this we also hope to expand our project towards other email platforms such as outlook as well.
