Phishing is form of identity theft that uses the social engineering techniques and sophisticated attack vectors to harvest financial information from unsuspecting consumers. It is a kind of attack in which phishers use spoofed emails and fraudulent web sites to trick people into giving up personal information. Victims perceive these emails as trusted, while in reality they are the work of phishers interested in identity theft. Web site phishing attacks usually start with an e-mail that arrives in the victim's mailbox pretending to be a legitimate and known entity. Usually, the mail claims some urgent steps to be taken by the user to avoid blocking of user account and direct him to a web page asking him to enter private information. But the web page is not legitimate and has no association with the organization it claims to be. Hence, the number of phishing fraud is continuing to grow, and the costs of the damages caused are increasing day by day. Therefore, there is the urgent need for anti-phishing solutions and recently have been identified, a number of solutions to mitigate phishing attacks have been proposed.
