Systems and methods for attacks, countermeasures, archiving, data leak prevention, and other novel services for active messages

A system for active message email security, the system comprising:

• a processor coupled to a memory containing instructions executable by the processor to cause the system to:
• receive an email message sent from a sender to a recipient containing active message content;
• execute the active message content on behalf of the recipient;
• convert the executed active message content to first static content;
• and
• forward the email message to the recipient with the active message content replaced by the first static content, wherein the system includes in the forwarded email message a user option to selectively re-enable at least some of the active content, wherein the system re-enables only active content deemed by the system to be safe, and wherein upon interaction with re-enabled active content by the recipient, the system re-executes the active message content on behalf of the recipient, converts the re-executed active message content for recipient to second static content for the recipient, and delivers the second static content associated with the re-executed active message content to the recipient.

A computer-implemented method for active message email security by a system comprising a processor coupled to a non-transitory memory containing instructions executable by the processor to cause the system to:

• receive an email message sent from a sender to a recipient containing active message content;
• execute the active message content on behalf of the recipient;
• convert the executed active message content to static content;
• and
• forward the email message to the recipient with the active message content replaced by the static content, wherein executing the active message content on behalf of the recipient comprises interacting with the active message content as the recipient so that the active message content is customized for the recipient as if the recipient had interacted with the active message content themselves.

A computer program product comprising a tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which, when run on a computer system, causes the computer system to:

• receive an email message sent from a sender to a recipient containing active message content;
• execute the active message content on behalf of the recipient;
• convert the executed active message content to static content;
• and
• forward the email message to the recipient with the active message content replaced by the static content, wherein executing the active message content on behalf of the recipient comprises interacting with the active message content as the recipient so that the active message content is customized for the recipient as if the recipient had interacted with the active message content themselves.
