Towards Text-based Phishing Detection
share
This paper reports on an experiment into text-based phishing detection using readily available resources and without the use of semantics. The developed algorithm is a modified version of previously published work that works with the same tools. The results obtained in recognizing phishing emails are considerably better than the previously reported work; but the rate of text falsely identified as phishing is slightly worse. It is expected that adding semantic component will reduce the false positive rate while preserving the detection accuracy.
