Phishing is a sort of attack in an online environment in which victims unintentionally access spoofed Emails that effectively trick them into sharing confidential information. Phishing is one of the biggest concerns of Internet users in modern times. Phishing is not a new security issue where attackers use fake web pages to steal their personal data. While phishing attacks keep on obliterating the online network, different research ventures have examined the reasons why individuals become casualties of phishing assaults. To overcome this kind of attack, many anti-phishing solutions have been developed to prevent users from becoming a phishing victim (Gaurav 2016; Longfei 2015; ChihHung 2015; Varsharani 2016). Most popular URL-based phishing detection techniques analyze URL features of web pages to filter out suspicious and malicious websites.
