Hi All,

We received a phishing email to our CEO (See below). The link if you run against virustotal is flagged as malicious/phishing. Is there a way to utilize Bro to automate checking against virustotal, is there any limit as to how many emails with links you can check against virustotal, if there are better solutions?
