More Information
Summary:Unwanted communication detection and/or management features are providing, including using one or more commonality measures as part of generating templates for fingerprinting and comparison operations, but the embodiments are not so limited. An computing architecture of one embodiment includes components configured to generate templates and associated fingerprints for known unwanted communications, wherein the template fingerprints can be compared to unknown communication fingerprints as part of determining whether the unknown communications are based on similar templates and can be properly classified as unwanted or potentially unsafe communications for further analysis and/or blocking. A method of one embodiment operates to use a number of template fingerprints to detect and classify unknown communications as spam, phishing, and/or other unwanted communications.
