Abstract:
A method for phishing detection using uniform resource locators is discussed. The method includes accessing data from one or more of a monitored portion of website data and a monitored portion of emails, the data indicating a suspect Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The method includes assigning a rule score based on partial rule scores of each portion of the suspect URL, the rule score indicating a phishing potential based on URL rules. The method includes determining a uniqueness score of the suspect URL, the uniqueness score indicating a degree of uniqueness of the suspect URL from a plurality of known phishing URLs. The method also includes determining a URL phishing score based, at least in part, on the rules scores and the uniqueness score for the suspect URL.
