A literature survey on anti-phishing in websites

Abstract

Abstract. Phishing and fraud sites have been widespread on the internet in recent times, which's become a source of great concern and a serious cybersecurity problem, as internet fraudsters target sensitive data and personal information of users, especially the username and password. Numerous approaches have been proposed and used to prevent and reduce these phishing websites and attacks, and protect users and their privacy. In this paper, we categorized the present anti-phishing approaches into two main classes: Content-based and Non-content-based. The content-based approach is also classified into URL content analysis and webpage content analysis. This helps in finding out numerous anti-phishing techniques and algorithms to choose the best approach in future contributions.
