Abstract


Cyber-attacks are the attacks carried out mainly over the internet and victims being the internet users. Phishing is a malicious activity aimed at collecting sensitive user information, by recreating an environment that has similarity in functionalities and appearance to the one that manages this information. Phishing most commonly occurs on the Web and mainly initiated via an email where the user is redirected to a malicious website that is a copy of the legitimate website and the objective of which is to capture the information to impersonate the user on the original Website and access the user’s personal confidential data. Seeing the truth here we suggest a preventive anti-phishing technique to keep the users away from to be victims of phishing attacks.
