### E-PhishLLM Dataset

In this repo, you can find *ephishLLM.json*, our dataset containing phishing emails generated in both English and Italian. 
The dataset is organized as a list of dictionaries. Each entry contains:

  - Subject of the email
  - Body of the email
  - Class type, 0 for legitimate emails, 1 for phishing
  - Language of the email

Below is an example of two ephishLLM entries:
```

        "Body": "Hi Nina,\n\nI hope you’re doing well! I’m thrilled to reach out regarding our upcoming collaboration focused on sustainable practices.
