A machine-learning system can identify fake, or spoofed, website addresses, according to research published in the International Journal of Electronic Security and Digital Forensics. The work offers a new tool to protect users against phishing attacks, in which attackers direct someone to a deceptive website to steal information such as bank logins or personal and private data.
The team combined two deep-learning techniques: a convolutional neural network (CNN), which can identify patterns in data, and a long short-term memory (LSTM) network, which can retain information about sequences in that data. This hybrid CNN-LSTM model achieved accuracy rates of almost 99% on the UCL standard test dataset and almost 97% on the PhishTank dataset.
The findings highlight the potential for automated AI systems to protect people using online commerce, government services and other activities. Phishing attacks remain particularly difficult to address as a cybercrime problem because they often exploit human behavior and weaknesses rather than a technical loophole. If a message is sufficiently convincing and a website realistic, vulnerable or even distracted users might disclose sensitive information without realizing they have been duped.
A system that accurately flags spoofed addresses before that happens would be invaluable. For the small percentage of addresses it falsely flags, the inconvenience would be negligible compared with what is not lost by blocking spoofed sites.
