Phishing attacks detection in electronic messages using Artificial Intelligence techniques

Team members: Lázaro Bustio-Martínez (Tecnical Leader), Miguel A. Álvarez-Carmona, Vitali Herrera-Semenets, Jorga A. González-Ordiano , Luis Zúñiga-Morales, Juan Luis García-Mendoza.
Phishing is the cybercrime that use electronic media to obtain sensitive information from their victims. To do so, it is common to induce feelings of urgency, necessity, vulnerability, doubt, curiosity, etc. The success of these attacks is remarkable as they attack people rather than systems. Recently there has been a worldwide increase in phishing attacks and they are being targeted at socio-demographic groups of interest. In view of this situation, it is necessary to propose new tools for detecting such attacks. To deal with these cases, it is necessary to employ methods that "learn" from identified attacks and apply "what has been learned" in unknown situations. In this sense, Machine Learning groups the necessary methods to detect phishing and zero-day attacks. For this reason, this project aims to develop methods capable of identifying phishing attacks in electronic media by using Machine Learning techniques.

A Lightweight Data Representation for Phishing URLs Detection in IoT Environments

Team members: Lázaro Bustio-Martínez (Tecnical Leader), Miguel A. Álvarez-Carmona, Vitali Herrera-Semenets, Claudia Feregrino-Uribe , René Cumplido
Phishing is a cyber-attack that exploits victims' technical ignorance or naivety and commonly involves a Uniform Resources Locator (URL). Hence, s. With the raising of the Internet of Things (IoT), phishing attacks are moving to this field due to the number of IoT devices and the amount of personal information they handle. Although several approaches were proposed for phishing attack detection, the URL-based Machine Learning approaches obtain better performance results, but all depend on the feature set. Contradictorily, only a few works on selecting the best-suited feature set for improving the phishing detection process have been published. The present research explores obtaining a feature set that substantially enhances the phishing detection rate in IoT environments. Hence, a feature selection algorithm was adopted and extended to get the most representative feature set. When Random Forest is used with the proposed data representation, the phishing URL attacks discovery rate is 99.57%.
