Evaluating the Effectiveness and Robustness of Visual Similarity-based Phishing Detection Models

Phishing attacks pose a significant threat to Internet users, with cybercriminals elaborately replicating the visual appearance of legitimate websites to deceive victims. Visual similarity-based detection systems have emerged as an effective countermeasure, but their effectiveness and robustness in real-world scenarios have been underexplored. Therefore, we evaluate the effectiveness and robustness of popular visual similarity-based anti-phishing models using these datasets. The shared project contains both reimplement codes and datasets.
