ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention provide a method and an apparatus for detecting and responding to email based propagation of malicious software (malware) in a trusted network. One embodiment provides a detector decoy email account to serve as generic bait for malicious software for a domain within the trusted network. In addition, at least one email account for the domain within the trusted network is provided as a detector probe account. In so doing, when the detector decoy email account receives an email from the detector probe account within the trusted network a policy based infection response rule is generated.
