PhishWHO: Phishing webpage detection via identity keywords extraction and target domain name finder

This paper proposes a phishing detection technique based on the difference between the target and actual identities of a webpage. The proposed phishing detection approach, called PhishWHO, can be divided into three phases. The first phase extracts identity keywords from the textual contents of the...
