Abstract:
Techniques for phishing protection using cloning detection are described herein. The techniques described herein can include a server which hosts a website detecting that a fetcher is a cloning toolkit or an entity known for using a cloning toolkit. The techniques can also include a server which hosts a downloadable application (such as a mobile application) detecting that a fetcher for the application is a cloning toolkit or an entity known for using a cloning toolkit. The detection can be done in several ways, such as by analyzing data logs for patterns associated with cloning toolkits or entities known for using cloning toolkits. The techniques described herein can also include a part of an end user device (such as a part of a mobile device) detecting a clone (such as a clone website or application) that was cloned by a cloning toolkit. Then, upon detection, security actions can be taken.
