Abstract:
This paper reviews the main methods to combat phishing (especially those which targets the e-mail servers existing on the Internet) and discuss about phishing eradication, automatic identification of phishing and compromised email accounts. Phishing is one of the most common computer crime, the goal being to collect confidential information like passwords, PIN codes, account numbers, card numbers, and then using them for stealing the money. Usually, phishing is correlated with companies in the banking and financial industry or even online stores.
