Abstract

Phishing attacks are growing in both volume and sophistication. The antiphishing method described here collects webpages with either a direct or indirect association with a given suspicious webpage. This enables the discovery of a webpage's so-called "parasitic" community and then ultimately its phishing target - that is, the page with the strongest parasitic relationship to the suspicious webpage. Finding this target lets users determine whether the given webpage is a phishing page. © 2006 IEEE.
