Phishing threats are a massive cyber issue that compromised both persons and companies. They deceive victims into divulging private information using mock websites, which are carbon copies of existing ones. PhishTrapX presents an innovative way of fighting against this practice, which bridges the gap between education and technology. PhishTrapX deploys machine learning technology to vet links on a website and detect if they exist or not. It scrutinizes various aspects of a URL and correctly categorizes it, providing real-time protection against phishing attacks. However, PhishTrapX does not stop at detecting phishing websites; it also educates people on how to be safe on the internet. It has a blog section with informative articles regarding the newest phishing scams, real-world examples, and tips on how to keep personal information safe. By integrating phishing detection automatically with cybersecurity education, PhishTrapX empowers users with the knowledge to both stay safe from scams and learn the ways in which they occur. This makes the web safer by minimizing the likelihood of individuals becoming the victim of phishing.
