AUTOMATED COLLECTION OF BRANDED TRAINING DATA FOR SECURITY AWARENESS TRAINING

摘要

A method of collecting training data related to a branded phishing URL may comprise retrieving a phishing URL impersonating a brand; fetching a final webpage referenced thereby; determining the main language of the textual content thereof; rendering graphical representation(s) of the final webpage; extracting, from the source of URLs, information including the retrieved phishing URL, a brand, a type and a date associated therewith and storing the extracted information together with the final webpage and the rendered graphical representation(s). A message that contains a URL matching the phishing URL may then be retrieved. The main language of the textual content of the message may be determined and graphical representations thereof rendered. A record may be updated with the message, the main language and the rendered graphical representations, which may be made accessible as training data to train users to recognize phishing websites and messages.
