PhishLumos maps phishing infrastructure and finds 190,000 URLs in six months (opens in new tab)

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new paradigm for identifying online phishing campaigns. Their new system, PhishLumos, is triggered when links show signs of concealing information and looks for clues in the "infrastructure" of the website to uncover the whole campaign of which the site is only a tiny part. Real-world testing showed detection that was eight days faster than an expert's, with 190,000 URLs detected over six months.
