Abstract

There are various types of cybercrime, and hackers often target specific ones for different reasons, such as financial gain, recognition, or even revenge. Cybercrimes are not restricted by geographical boundaries and can occur globally. The prevalence of specific types of cybercrime can vary from country to country, influenced by factors such as economic conditions, internet usage levels, and overall development. Phishing is a common cybercrime in the financial sector across different countries, with variations in techniques between developed and developing nations. However, the impact, often leading to financial losses, remains consistent. In our analysis, we utilized a dataset featuring 48 attributes from 5,000 phishing webpages and 5,000 legitimate webpages to predict the phishing status of websites. This approach achieved an impressive 98% accuracy.
