ANTI-PHISHING IN ANDROID PHONE PROJECT REPORT.

Phishing is a new word produced from 'fishing', it refers to the act that the attacker allure users
to visit a faked Web site by sending them faked e-mails (or instant messages), and stealthily
get victim's personal information such as user name, password, and national security ID, etc.
This information then can be used for future target advertisements or even identity theft attacks
(e.g., transfer money from victims' bank account). The frequently used attack method is to send
e-mails to potential victims, which seemed to be sent by banks, online organizations, or ISPs.
In these e-mails, they will make up some causes, e.g. the password of your credit card had been
mis-entered for many times, or they are providing upgrading services, to allure you visit their
Web site to conform or modify your account number and password through the hyperlink
provided in the e-mail (Leon, 2008).
If you input the account number and password, the attackers then successfully collect the
information at the server side, and is able to perform their next step actions with that
information (e.g., withdraw money out from your account).Phishing itself is not a new concept,
but it's increasingly used by phishers to steal user information and perform business crime in
recent years. Within one to two years, the number of phishing attacks increased dramatically
