The incidents dashboard centralizes the reporting and tracking of reported phishing incidents. It collects data on reported incidents, allowing security teams to analyze patterns, assess threat severity, and respond effectively.
The dashboard provides a streamlined interface for quickly identifying potential threats and taking appropriate actions. Use filters to group your incidents by date, client, campaign, and severity.
You can download or delete incidents straight from the dashboard, as well as forward them to your own reporting contacts.
The Centralized Analysis feature enables both manual and automatic analysis of reported emails. This allows the security team to efficiently assess and categorize threats, enhancing the overall email security posture.
The summary page displays a weighted average of the Mail Server, Domain, and Body Analysis scores, as well as general information about the reported email. You can also view or download the reported message as either a .eml
or .msg
file from this page.
The overall risk score is calculated using data from the following sources:
DNS BL queries to bl.spamcop.net
and zen.spamhaus.org
AI-powered phishing detection is available starting in Lucy version 5.5
Each reported email now includes a Phishing Score and additional insights to help with threat assessment:
Phishing Score: A percentage score indicating the AI’s confidence that the email is phishing.
Insight Tooltips: Hover over the score to view detailed probability breakdowns for:
Phishing URL
Phishing URL (Alternate)
Legitimate URL
These insights are generated automatically when the system processes a new report or when a user clicks "Rescan" on an existing report.
This feature uses a machine learning model to classify email content during parsing. It automatically activates under the following conditions:
Your account has a Commercial License.
The reported email is not marked as a simulation at the time of analysis.
Important Behavior Notes:
Commercial License
✅ Yes
✅ Yes
Free / Non-commercial License
❌ No
❌ No
Report marked as simulation (before scan)
❌ No
❌ No
Report marked as simulation (after scan)
✅ Yes
❌ No
The AI analysis uses a specialized natural language processing model to evaluate the email content:
Model Used: cybersectony/phishing-email-detection-distilbert_v2.4.1
This model predicts multiple probability values, including:
Likelihood that the email is phishing
Probability that a URL is phishing
Probability that a URL is legitimate
Analysis of alternate URLs
You can run the model directly from the command line to analyze a local email file:
Note: These are percentage probabilities represented as integers. For example,
<PHISHING_PROBABILITY>4</PHISHING_PROBABILITY>
means 4% phishing confidence (i.e., 96% confidence the email is legitimate).
LUCY differentiates between real and simulation emails. Reports on simulation emails are included in campaign statistics, but depending on your plugin settings they do not have to be included in the incidents dashboard.
LUCY identifies simulation emails via headers that it includes with every simulation email it sends. For example:
The incident dashboard can be integrated into your organization's toolkit very easily. To use your own reporting plugin and still receive reports to the incident dashboard, follow these steps:
Configure your reporting domain’s MX records to point to LUCY.
Enable "Send Reports Over SMTP" and "Use SMTP for receiving incident reports on LUCY."
LUCY will listen on the reporter email's inbox and create incidents out of each email sent to that address.
Using "Send reports over SMTP" and "Use SMTP for receiving incident reports" will cause LUCY to intercept all its own emails to the reporter domain. In other words, recipients on the same domain as the reporter email will no longer receive any emails from LUCY.

When an incident is reported, LUCY checks the body of the message against your and assigns a score accordingly. On this page you can view all the score factors and rules that contributed to the overall score.
