Abstract

Today websites are used for various purposes. There is a crime named website phishing which comes under Cybercrime. A website phishing tries to steal your account password or other private information by misleading you into believing that you're on a legitimate website. Several conventional techniques for detecting phishing websites have been suggested to cope with this problem. One could even land on a phishing site by mistyping a URL. In this study, a Multilayer Perceptron Learning approach is used after applying 10-fold cross validation as a preprocessing for website phishing classification which gives almost 100% accuracy. The experimental results show that the performance of the multilayer perceptron learning classifiers improved the results up to a greater extent.
