Abstract
A system to prevent content spoofing by detecting phishing attacks is provided. The system checks each webpage visited by a user and determines if the page is legitimate. To determine if a page is legitimate, the system employs fingerprints to check how similar the browsed page is with respect to an original page. If the similarity between browsed page and the original page is found to be more than a preset threshold, then the browsed page is considered to be a spoofed page. Access to the spoofed page is then either denied and/or an alarm is triggered.
