An end-to-end approach for the detection of phishing attacks

Abstract

The main approaches/implementations used to counteract phishing attacks involve the use of crowd-sourced blacklists. However, blacklists come with several drawbacks. In this paper, we present a comprehensive approach for the detection of phishing attacks. Our approach uses our own detection engine which relies on Graph Neural Networks to leverage the hyperlink structure of the websites to analyze. Additionally, we offer a turnkey implementation to the end-users in the form of a Mozilla Firefox plugin.
