Abstract

Phishing is a cybersecurity problem that hackers employ to deceive individuals and organizations. Phishing is dynamic in nature; the hackers change several tricks to deceive the victims in multiple ways. It is important to track the tricks of hackers with recent technology. This study makes a notable contribution to enhancing cybersecurity defences by offering insights that aid in the detection and mitigation of phishing threats. Specifically, the study’s analysis of URLs using mutual information and logistic regression techniques yielded a remarkably high accuracy rate of 99.97%, surpassing previous efforts. The identification of the most informative features for distinguishing phishing attempts provides valuable intelligence for cybersecurity professionals, enabling them to bolster defenses and stay ahead of evolving phishing tactics.
