Analysis and Prevention of Phishing Attacks in Cyber Space

Now-a-days internet become a very unsafe space to deal with. Hackers are constantly trying to gain the user’s personal information, and detailed credentials. So many websites on the internet, even though safe, this safety cannot be assured by all websites. These rule breakers avoid abiding by rules, and try to employ methods like trickery and hacking to gain illegal access to private information. To be able to overcome this problem, we need to first understand the intricacies of how the virus is designed. This paper mainly deals with the analysis of phishing attacks in the cyberspace and any malicious content that is associated with the web, and is carried out within the browser. The files which are downloaded with virus, and involve third party applications from the PC, cannot be checked for virus. For instance, if there is a word file that is downloaded to the PC, it uses apps outside the web in the VM, and hence cannot be controlled by the VM.
