Abstract

There are currently many anti-phishing tools to combat against the phishing and web scams. Many of which are browser extensions that warn users when they are using suspected phishing websites. But most of the users are ignoring the warnings of the phishing site and providing their valuable credentials. Therefore, the focus of this research is to develop a browser extension, which manipulates the user credentials, whenever a user ignores anti-phishing tools warnings about malicious websites. This browser extension will protect user's information from being handed to attackers.
