Stop Phishing Attacks and Protect Your Community with DefendMe AI

Phishing attacks are one of the most common and dangerous cyber threats today. Every year, millions of fake websites aim to steal personal information and cause financial damage. Despite efforts from internet providers and browsers, phishing attacks continue to evolve, becoming harder to detect. To stay protected, individuals need smarter solutions that can catch these threats in real-time—this is where DefendMe.AI comes in.

What is Phishing?

Phishing is a type of cyberattack where attackers trick people into revealing sensitive information like passwords or credit card numbers by posing as trustworthy entities. These attacks are often carried out via fake websites or emails designed to look legitimate.

The Growing Threat of Phishing

According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG), over 1.3 million phishing websites were identified in just the fourth quarter of 2022. This means approximately 5 million phishing sites are reported yearly—though the real number is likely more higher since these numbers only include the reported attacks. As phishing methods become more sophisticated, the risk to individuals and businesses increases dramatically.

Impact on Individuals

Phishing attacks can:

• Steal personal and financial information
• Drain bank accounts or initiate fraudulent purchases
• Install malware on personal devices
• Lead to identity theft, impacting credit scores and personal security

Challenges in Preventing Phishing Attacks

Though internet service providers, DNS providers, and browsers offer safe browsing features, phishing attacks persist due to several challenges:

• Known vs. Unknown Attacks: Many solutions can only block attacks from previously reported phishing websites.
• Time Lag: Even when a new phishing site is detected, the response time leaves a window for attackers to succeed.
• High Costs: Advanced real-time phishing detection solutions are often costly and accessible only to large enterprises, leaving many individuals and small businesses vulnerable.
