Abstract

Detecting threats like adult, violent, and phishing tweets on online social networks is a crucial issue in recent years. The aim of the work is to identify phishing content from the users' perspective in real-time tweets. To outline such content comprehensively, lexicon analysis with sentiments are encapsulated to investigate tweets that yield phishing dynamic keywords, while some features and parameters are altered to optimize the performance. To support the preliminary study, the approach is rigorously designed to assemble users' opinions on completely different classes of phishing content. Each direct and indirect opinions as well as recently projected opinions are listed to characterize all sorts of phishing content. The authors use word level analysis with sentiments to build keyword blacklist lexicons. High promising results and high level of accuracy and performance are obtained experimentally if compared with the alternative algorithms.
