Abstract

Internet has also become very common and this has changed the daily lives of people because now people can easily shop online, communicate through the internet and access other government functions. This growth has also been accompanied by the fact that there is so much sensitive data being exchanged over the internet, and cybercriminals have taken advantage of this situation to carry out phishing in order to capitalize on such an opportunity. Such practice as phishing has also been among the most persistent cyber threats as any attacker constantly changes their methods, making malicious websites more plausible and simpler to implement. With the development of such tactics, it is becoming harder to detect and prevent phishing. This paper contains a comprehensive overview of various techniques of phishing attacks and how they are directed toward the online users. It also looks at the key security initiatives that have been created to combat such threats, their strength, and their weakness. It is on this knowledge that the study postulates better protection strategies aimed at strengthening the stability, dependability, and general security of anti-phishing systems.
