description The COVID-19 crisis has once again highlighted the vulnerabilities of some critical areas in cyberspace, especially in the field of education, as distance learning and social distance have increased their dependence on digital technologies and connectivity. Many recent cyberattacks on e-learning systems, educational content services, and trainee management systems have created severe demands for specialized technological solutions to protect the security of modern training methods. Email is one of the most critical technologies of educational organizations that are attacked daily by spam, phishing campaigns, and all kinds of malicious programs. Considering the efforts made by the global research community to ensure educational processes, this study presents an advanced deep attention collaborative filter for secure academic email services. It is a specialized application of intelligent techniques that, for the first time, examines and models the problem of spam as a system of graphs where collaborative referral systems undertake the processing and analysis of direct and indirect social information to detect and categorize spam emails. In this study, nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is applied to the social graph adjacent table to place users in one (or more) overlapping communities. Also, using a deep attention mechanism, it becomes personalized for each user. At the same time, with the introduction of exponential random graph models (ERGMs) in the process of factorization, local dependencies are significantly mitigated to achieve the revelation of malicious communities. This methodology is being tested successfully in implementing mail protection systems for educational organizations. According to the findings, the proposed algorithm outperforms all other compared algorithms in every metric tested.
