Abstract

The presently-disclosed solution provides an innovative system and method to protect a computer user from a phishing attack. Computer vision is effectively applied to match identifiable key information in suspect content against a database of identifiable key information of legitimate content. In one embodiment, the presently-disclosed solution converts suspect content to a digital image format and searches a database of logos and/or banners to identify a matching logo/banner image. Once the matching logo/banner image is found, the legitimate domain(s) associated with the matching logo/banner image is (are) determined. In addition, the presently-disclosed solution extracts all the URLs (universal resource links) directly from the textual data of the suspect content and further extracts the suspect domain(s) from those URLs. The suspect domain(s) is (are) then compared against the legitimate domain(s) to detect whether the suspect content is phishing content or not. Other embodiments and features are also disclosed.
