"Unhooking Phishing Threats - The Detection of Phishing Attempts in Communications Systems"

There is a new approach to combating phishing attacks to improve online security, reduce cybercrime against individuals and businesses, and prevent attacks against governments. Computer security systems are continuously challenged by the emergence of increasingly sophisticated phishing attacks, which may also use social engineering and malware. T. Kalaichelvi of the Panimalar Engineering College in Chennai, India, and colleagues have proposed a new technique for threat modeling capable of identifying and eliminating vulnerabilities that make a computer system more vulnerable to phishing attacks. The team's method uses the STRIDE threat design methodology, a powerful tool with a 96.3 percent detection rate for phishing web addresses. Individuals and organizations can use this work to combat the phishing threat. This article continues to discuss the study on detecting phishing attempts in communications systems.
