What’s New
Version 6.0
1. Expanded Phishing Keywords:
Cryptocurrency-related terms: New keywords related to cryptocurrency scams are included, such as "bitcoin," "crypto," "wallet," "blockchain," "NFT," "mining," "token," "decentralized," and "airdrop." These are commonly used in phishing schemes targeting digital assets and decentralized financial systems.
Scam and Fraud-related terms: Added keywords like "foreign lottery," "winnings," "scam," "fraud," and "spoofing," which are used in common fraudulent schemes that promise rewards or financial gains.
Emerging phishing techniques: Terms like "QR code" and "investment" are now part of the keyword list, as attackers use these to lure victims into scanning malicious codes or investing in fake opportunities.
2. Enhanced Phishing Patterns:
Crypto-specific patterns: Added regex patterns to detect cryptocurrency-related terms such as "crypto," "bitcoin," "wallet," and "blockchain."
Lottery/Prize scam detection: Patterns were introduced to identify phishing schemes involving promises of winnings or prizes, such as "foreign lottery" or "claim your prize."
Improved detection of emails and URLs: Strengthened existing patterns for email addresses and URLs to cover more variations used in phishing attacks.
3. Broader Coverage:
Modern scam tactics: New keywords and patterns reflect the latest phishing tactics, focusing on emerging trends like digital currencies, blockchain, and scams offering a "limited-time" opportunity or an "exclusive offer."
Wider variety of phrases: Broadened the variety of phrases that appear in phishing attempts, ensuring that the detector captures more potential threats beyond the traditional email scams (e.g., expanding to digital fraud schemes).
