Phishing in Finance

Abstract

Phishing is continually shown to be a problem in network security. Phishing is trickery towards the user believing that he or she is communicating with a trusted source. Most phishing attacks are focused on the financial infrastructure such as financial institutions like banks and services like Paypal. We proposed a different interface than the traditional browsers which prove through past research are prone to fail in complete security. A thin client instead will be created to allow a secure connection between a client and the institution. We believe that this is a better way to prevent people from losing their private information due to phishing.
