Smishing is an attack targeted to mobile devices in which the attacker sends text messages containing malicious links, phone numbers or E-Mail IDs to the victim and the attacker aims to steal sensitive user data like bank account details, passwords, user credentials, credit card details, etc through this message. Through this message, the attacker prompts the user to click on the link or contact the phone number or E-mail ID provided in the SMS. In this paper, we have discussed various mobile…

This research proposes the online meta-learning firewall to prevent phishing attacks, a highly innovative and fully automated active safety tool that uses a long short-term memory meta-learner algorithm inspired by the model of short and long- term memory.

Poster : PhisherCop - An Automated Tool Using ML Classifiers for Phishing Detection

An anti-phishing tool that distinguishes between phishing and legitimate content both over emails and text messages based on a user-centered approach that shows an average accuracy of 96 % performing better than six other popular classifiers, including Decision Tree, Logistics Regression, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting Classi fier, K-Nearest Neighbors and Multinomial Naive Bayes.

Investigation into Phishing Risk Behaviour among Healthcare Staff

The in-the-wild study approach was the most commonly used method as compared to laboratory-based experiments and statistical surveys because its findings are generally reliable and effective and Pearson’s correlation showed that the perceived barrier was a predictor of self-reported security behaviour in phishing attacks among healthcare staff.

PhisherCop: Developing an NLP-Based Automated Tool for Phishing Detection

Phishing poses a major security risk to organizations and individuals leading to loss of billions of dollars yearly. While risk communication serves as a tool to mitigate phishing attempts, it is…

Implementation of ‘Smishing Detector’: An Efficient Model for Smishing Detection Using Neural Network

This manuscript presented an algorithm for the model proposed by authors in ‘Smishing Detector’ model and implemented it using Neural Network, proving that the neural network is much efficient in detecting smishing problem.

Uma avaliação de comportamentos homográficos em ataques de phishing direcionados que exploram a suscetibilidade pela fidedignidade e sazonalidade

O avanço de ataques de phishing não se caracteriza apenas na propagação, mas também no rigor em detalhes, tornando a fraude cada vez mais convincente ao crivo do usuário final. Diante deste cenário,…

DSmishSMS-A System to Detect Smishing SMS

A smishing detection model comprising of two phases, Domain Checking Phase and SMS Classification Phase, which examines the authenticity of the URL in the SMS which is a crucial part of SMS phishing detection is presented.
