Zusammenfassung:Classifying electronic communications is disclosed. An electronic communication is received. A first likelihood that a potential recipient of the electronic communication would conclude that the communication was transmitted on behalf of an authoritative entity is determined. An assessment of a second likelihood that the received communication was transmitted with authorization from the purported authoritative entity is performed. The electronic communication is classified based at least in part on the first and second likelihoods.
