Abstract

When an electronic mail is transmitted, a computer outputs to a display device a transmission confirmation screen on which a destination or an attached file name is displayed, the destination or the attached file name being different from a destination or an attached file name that has been set by a user in the electronic mail, and on which whether transmission of the electronic mail will be performed is selectable. Upon receipt of selection of whether the transmission will be performed, the computer outputs to the display device message information that varies according to a result of the selection of whether the transmission will be performed on the transmission confirmation screen.

Claims (37)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein an electronic mail erroneous transmission prevention supporting program for causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

calculating a risk degree in accordance with a risk calculation rule defined in training control information when a user has prepared an electronic mail message;

calculating a training necessity weight by using the risk degree;

comparing the training necessity weight with a threshold;

when the training necessity weight is greater than the threshold, changing an attached file name, set by the user in the electronic mail message, to a different attached file name obtained from one of a file name of a file attached to a transmitted electronic mail, a random name generated at random, and a stored name of data stored in a storage of the computer when the electronic mail is transmitted, the different attached file name being different from the attached file name set by the user in the electronic mail;

outputting to a display device a transmission confirmation screen listing the different attached file name and requesting confirmation of transmission of the electronic mail;

outputting to the display device message information that varies depending on whether the transmission is confirmed on the transmission confirmation screen, including at least one of

changing an original destination set by the user in the electronic mail to a previous destination of one of transmitted electronic mails on the transmission confirmation screen,

adding another destination generated at random to a specified destination set by the user on the transmission confirmation screen, and

omitting one destination of plural destinations when the plural destinations have been set by the user and displaying remaining ones the plural destinations on the transmission confirmation screen; and

visualizing and displaying a level of a security countermeasure, based on selection by the user of whether the transmission is confirmed, in accordance with a result of the selection stored in the storage.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , the process further comprising transmitting to a transmission source of the electronic mail an electronic mail that includes information indicating that mail erroneous transmission has occurred when the transmission of the electronic mail is selected on the transmission confirmation screen.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , the process further comprising outputting information indicating that the attached file name has been changed on the transmission confirmation screen when cancellation of the transmission of the electronic mail is selected on the transmission confirmation screen and outputting a transmission confirmation screen displaying the attached file name set by the user in the electronic mail.

4. An electronic mail erroneous transmission prevention supporting device communicating with a display device, comprising:

a storage; and

a processor that executes a process including:

calculating a risk degree in accordance with a risk calculation rule defined in training control information when a user has prepared an electronic mail message;

calculating a training necessity weight by using the risk degree;

comparing the training necessity weight with a threshold;

when the training necessity weight is greater than the threshold, changing an attached file name, set by the user in the electronic mail message, to a different attached file name obtained from one of a file name of a file attached to a transmitted electronic mail, a random name generated at random, and a stored name of data stored in the storage when the electronic mail is transmitted, the different attached file name being different from the attached file name set by the user in the electronic mail;

outputting to the display device a transmission confirmation screen listing the different attached file name and requesting confirmation of transmission of the electronic mail;

outputting to the display device message information that varies depending on whether the transmission is confirmed, including at least one of

changing an original destination set by the user in the electronic mail to a previous destination of one of transmitted electronic mails on the transmission confirmation screen,

adding another destination generated at random to a specified destination set by the user on the transmission confirmation screen, and

omitting one destination of plural destinations when the plural destinations have been set by the user and displaying remaining ones the plural destinations on the transmission confirmation screen; and

visualizing and displaying a level of a security countermeasure, based on selection by the user of whether the transmission is confirmed, in accordance with a result of the selection stored in the storage.

5. An electronic mail erroneous transmission prevention supporting method comprising:

calculating a risk degree in accordance with a risk calculation rule defined in training control information when a user has prepared an electronic mail message;

calculating a training necessity weight by using the risk degree;

comparing the training necessity weight with a threshold;

when the training necessity weight is greater than the threshold, changing an attached file name, set by the user in the electronic mail message, to a different attached file name obtained from one of a file name of a file attached to a transmitted electronic mail, a random name generated at random, and a stored name of data stored in a storage of the computer when the electronic mail is transmitted, the different attached file name being different from the attached file name set by the user in the electronic mail;

outputting by a computer to a display device a transmission confirmation screen listing the different attached file name and requesting confirmation of transmission of the electronic mail;

outputting by the computer to the display device message information that varies depending on whether the transmission is confirmed, including at least one of

changing an original destination set by the user in the electronic mail to a previous destination of one of transmitted electronic mails on the transmission confirmation screen,

adding another destination generated at random to a specified destination set by the user on the transmission confirmation screen, and

omitting one destination of plural destinations when the plural destinations have been set by the user and displaying remaining ones the plural destinations on the transmission confirmation screen; and

visualizing and displaying a level of a security countermeasure, based on selection by the user of whether the transmission is confirmed, in accordance with a result of the selection stored in the storage.
