US 2021/0344710 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATED SIMULATED PHISHING CAMPAIGNS USING NEWSLETTERS

Abstract

Systems and methods are described for classifying email communications as a newsletter type of emails to use in a simulated phishing communication. Initially, one or more emails may be identified to classify as a newsletter type of email. The one or more emails may then be classified as the newsletter type of email based on one or more classification characteristics. An email may be selected from the one or more emails classified as the newsletter type of email. Further, the selected email may be modified to provide a simulated phishing email newsletter. The simulated phishing email newsletter may be communicated to one or more devices of one or more users.
