Vijay Kumar, P. K. Sengar . Client-Side Defense against Phishing with PageSafe. International Journal of Computer Applications. 4, 4 ( July 2010), 6-10. DOI=10.5120/819-1161
Every day, a number of attacks are launched with the aim of making web users believe that they are communicating with a trusted entity for the purpose of stealing account information, logon credentials, and identity information in general. These attacks, commonly known as “phishing attacks,” are most commonly initiated by sending out emails with links to spoofed websites that harvest information. Many anti-phishing schemes have recently been proposed in literature. Despite all those efforts, the threat of phishing attacks is not mitigated. Solutions based on blacklists of phishing web sites are partially effective. Such solutions require the anti-phishing organizations to be much faster than the attackers. And the effectiveness of private information preserving approach is totally dependent on users. To keep their private information could be irritating works for users Solution based on automatic classification have the problems of false positives and false negatives.
