Analysing the Accuracy of Detecting Phishing Websites using Ensemble Methods in Machine Learning

Phishing attacks are now one of the prevalent dangers that firms, service providers and internet users must deal with. Rather than targeting software vulnerabilities, it targets human vulnerabilities. It is the act of enticing users to attain their personal data using fake emails and websites. Like how e-commerce sectors are growing, phishing attacks are also developing. Preventing phishing attempts is a critical aspect of protecting online transactions. Since hacktivists, spy agencies and cybercriminals now have a rich field in which they can operate sophisticated phishing attacks, prompt detection of phishing attempts is more critical than ever. To properly respond to various phishing attacks, it is required to gain a thorough understanding of these attacks, and suitable response techniques must be used. The challenges faced in this research is finding the appropriate datasets and Feature extraction prompted the study of several modules, in addition to understanding every module and attaining the desired outcome from it. Machine learning techniques are used to accurately identify phishing attacks before cause harm to a user. Being able to handle the changing nature of phishing attempts and offering an accurate method of classification, it is one of the most practical ways to approach the situation.
