Original Abstract Submitted
A user device may obtain message information that includes a first hash that was generated based on a portion of a future message that will be sent to the user device. The user device may determine whether new messages received at the user device appear to be associated with a corresponding entity. If a new message appears to be associated with the entity, the user device may use the message information to confirm whether the new message is malicious. Based on determining that the new message is malicious, the user device may display a notification to a user or perform a variety of other actions.
