PHISHING ATTACK DETECTION AND MITIGATION

An edge service is disclosed herein that performs an anti-phishing attack function, to detect and mitigate against phishing attacks. In an implementation, the edge service examines incoming emails for any that include links to web pages. When such an email is encountered, the edge service opens the suspect web page and compares it to at least one protected page. When warranted by the result(s) of the comparison, the edge service takes steps to mitigate the phishing attack, such as by not delivering the email to a recipient.
