An Effective Ensemble Approach for Preventing and Detecting Phishing Attacks in Textual Form

> Abstract > > : Phishing email assaults have been a prevalent cybercriminal tactic for many decades. Various detectors have been suggested over time that rely on textual information. However, to address the growing prevalence of phishing emails, more sophisticated techniques are required to use all aspects of emails to improve the detection capabilities of machine learning classifiers. This paper presents a novel approach to detecting phishing emails. The proposed methodology combines ensemble learning techniques with various variables, such as word frequency, the presence of specific keywords or phrases, and email length, to improve detection accuracy. We provide two approaches for the planned task; The first technique employs ensemble learning soft voting, while the second employs weighted ensemble learning. Both strategies use distinct machine learning algorithms to concurrently process the characteristics, reducing their complexity and enhancing the model’s performance. An extensive assessment and analysis are conducted, considering unique criteria designed to minimize biased and inaccurate findings. Our empirical experiments demonstrates that using ensemble learning to merge attributes in the evolution of phishing emails showcases the competitive performance of ensemble learning over other machine learning algorithms. This superiority is underscored by achieving an F1-score of 0.90 in the weighted ensemble method and 0.85 in the soft voting method, showcasing the effectiveness of this approach.

Metager is dead.

Date: 10.09.2024

> MetaGer, the privacy-focused search engine of the non-profit association SUMA-EV, will no longer exist in its familiar form. It will still be possible to use the token-financed service. Nothing will change for members and users who use MetaGer with a key. However, it is the ad-financed search that has ensured the main part of the revenue and thus the operation and further development. Unfortunately, this “normal” search is no longer possible as of today. This is just as dramatic as it sounds: it is no longer possible for SUMA-EV to continue to employ staff. All employees are being made redundant, as are the offices.

    Liberals stepped over the bodies of Palestinian women to vote for Kamala Harris
  • So Palestine are choosing to run over themselves alone or run over all the people?

    This does not make any sense.

  • Liberals stepped over the bodies of Palestinian women to vote for Kamala Harris
  • Source:

    "Let me be clear, I will always stand up for Israel's right to defend itself and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself," she said tonight. She said that Israelis should "never again" go through the horror and "unspeakable" attacks of Oct. 7.

    She then went on to offer thoughts and prayers to Palestine.

    Don't mistake her position.

  • Liberals stepped over the bodies of Palestinian women to vote for Kamala Harris
  • How so?

    People who did not vote are not participants!

    They are merely observers. till they make an active choice that impact what is happening in wars.

    Dude, even Bernie Sanders realise what is the mistake his party did by electing Harris.

  • Liberals stepped over the bodies of Palestinian women to vote for Kamala Harris
  • You did not outline how Harris would have supported Palestine?

  • Liberals stepped over the bodies of Palestinian women to vote for Kamala Harris
  • This is the real life trolley problem.

    You either become an active participant to prevent more people from being killed or you leave more people getting killed without participating.

    People should have elected a better leader who have a good ethics to stop the killings from happening in the first place.

  • People who voted for Trump after he won:
