Abstract

Phishing attacks are increasing with the rise in web users. Addressing them requires understanding the techniques and employing effective response strategies. Phishing websites mimic authentic ones to deceive users into divulging personal information like bank account details, national insurance numbers, and passwords. Therefore, victims face financial loss from breached information security, constituting high-level internet fraud. Detecting phishing websites necessitates an intelligent model capable of recognizing suspicious features. To that purpose, this paper examines three classification methods for detecting phishing website attacks. This analysis allows to reconsider our awareness of phishing attacks and prevent the damage caused by phishing attempts in advance. Phishing website detection algorithm using three classification algorithms is proposed in this paper. It achieves high phishing website detecting accuracy, because three classification algorithms random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and Bagging are combined in one system. The result of this research is found accuracy on validation set is 92.33%, the precision on validation set is 92.13%, the recall is 92.09% and F1 score is 92.10%. That prove that the result obtained in this research is more accurate than all the results of all the algorithms were applied in the same dataset that was train the proposed algorithm on it.
