  • 摘要:As most of human activities are being moved to cyberspace, phishers and other cybercriminals are making the cyberspace unsafe by causing serious risks to users and businesses as well as threatening global security and economy. Nowadays, phishers are constantly evolving new methods for luring user to reveal their sensitive information. To avoid falling victim to cybercriminals, a phishing detection algorithms is very necessary to be developed. Machine learning or data mining algorithms are used for phishing detection such as classification that categorized cyber users in to either malicious or safe users or regression that predicts the chance of being attacked by some cybercriminals in a given period of time. Many techniques have been proposed in the past for phishing detection but due to dynamic nature of some of the many phishing strategies employed by the cybercriminals, the quest for better solution is still on. In this paper, we propose a new phishing detection model based on Extreme Gradient Boosted Tree (XGBOOST) algorithm. Experimental results demonstrated that XGBOOST-based phishing detection model is promising by returning an accuracy of 97.27% which outperformed both probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) and Random forest (RF) that returned accuracies of 96.79% and 95.66% respectively.
