Abstract
There is disclosed a method of mitigating phishing, including extracting text from a website under analysis; using a spell check algorithm to compare extracted words or phrases to a language dictionary of words or phrases selected from web pages known to be phishing targets, and using a spell counter to count misspell hits from the spell check algorithm; comparing the extracted words or phrases to a case-sensitive usage reference, and using a usage counter to count mismatched usage hits from the case-sensitive usage reference; combining the spell counter and the usage counter into a combined counter; and using the combined counter to identify the website under analysis as a suspected phishing website and taking a phishing mitigation action.
