Text and Data Mining to Detect Phishing Websites and Spam Emails

In this paper, we performed phishing and spam detection using textand data mining. For phishing websites detection, we extracted 17 features from the source code and URL of the websites and for spam-email detection we ap-plied text and data mining in tandem. In both studies, we achieved high sensi-tivity compared to previous studies and also provided decision rules.
