Description
Abstract— Phishing is a form of deception used by Internet
users where attackers steal sensitive information via email,
emails, messages or advertisements. These attachments
may contain malicious software that could infect the user's
device. If the user opens this URL, then a false website
opens, in which the user enters confidential data. While
fraudulent methods continue to be prevalent, the purpose
of this study is to provide information on how to identify an
infected email and educate users about the features of
phishing emails. We structure our work based on the layout
of phishing concepts and knowing how a phishing attack
occurs.
Keywords— Session hijacking, phishing, attack, URL,
email, link.
