It is a critical form of cybercrime which uses information such a victim’s name, bank details, email address, passwords, passport or identification details, and other valuable information to gain access to accounts. This aim of this research is to make use of Machine Learning algorithms for the detection of such crimes. Keywords: identity theft; cybercrime; Machine Learning; detection; algorithms

Detection of Phishing Websites using Machine Learning

Abstract: Phishing sends malicious links or attachments through emails that can perform various functions, including capturing the victim's login credentials or account information. These emails harm the victims, cause money loss, and identity theft. In this paper, we contribute to solving the phishing problem by developing an extension for the Google Chrome web browser. In the development of this feature, we used JavaScript PL. To be able to identify and prevent the fishing attack, a combination of Blacklisting and semantic analysis methods was used. Furthermore, a database for phishing sites is generated, and the text, links, images, and other data on-site are analyzed for pattern recognition. Finally, our proposed solution was tested and compared to existing approaches. The results validate that our proposed method is capable of handling the phishing issue substantially.

Analysis of College Students’ Cybersecurity Awareness In Indonesia

Abstract: Internet-based attacks have become common and are expected to happen continuously with the development of technology. Therefore, cybersecurity emerged as an important concept in everyday life. It is defined as the protection of cyberspace. Cybersecurity Awareness (CSA) exists as a major defense key in protecting users and systems from internet-based attacks. The research presented in this study aims to assess the level of CSA among college students in Indonesia. This study uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to test students in three dimensions, including attitudes, knowledge, and behavior. To measure this dimension, six focus areas in the topic of cybersecurity were taken and developed from previous studies on the same topic. The six focus areas are password security, cyberbullying, phishing, malware, identity theft, and the last is downloading, sharing and use of pirated content. The results showed that the total level of CSA for college students in Indonesia was in the good criteria. This is indicated by a total percentage of awareness around 80%. Nevertheless there are some focus areas that can be improved to increase the percentage.
