Researchers created a new dataset with 31 attributes (measurable characteristics) derived from URLs and similarity features, then tested multiple machine learning algorithms (computer programs that learn patterns from data) on it to detect these attacks. The Logistic Regression method achieved 96.40% accuracy at detecting phishing, showing that this approach works well for protecting local systems in real-world situations.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["research","security"],"sourceUrl":"http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11426774","publishedAt":"2026-03-09T13:17:52.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"research","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":[],"affectedVendorsRaw":[],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-03-09T13:17:52.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":["integrity"],"aiComponentTargeted":null,"llmSpecific":false,"classifierConfidence":0.72,"researchCategory":"peer_reviewed","atlasIds":null}}
