AgentTab: An Agent Based Approach to Detect Tabnabbing Attack

Phishing is an art of deceiving users by hijacking sensitive information like details of bank account, credit card, login on email and social networking sites, through social engineering. This is done by using emails and fake web pages that mimic legitimate companies which force users into revealing such data. Phishing attacks are a serious threat to online security as it may involve identity theft and financial loss. Anti-phishing solutions presently available are inefficient to the newer kinds of attack. This paper explores a newer kind of phishing attack called Tabnabbing and a novel approach to detect it using artificial intelligent agents.
