Abstract: Internet technology is so extensive today. As an example, from online social networking to online banking, it’s made people’s lives easier. One in all the foremost important problems with the net technology is unwanted spam emails. The well-disguised phishing email comes in as a component of the spam and makes its entry into one’s inbox quite frequently nowadays. Here the various aspects of phishing attacks and some possible defenses as countermeasures are analyzed. Phishing could be a special form of network attack where the attacker creates a reproduction of an existing website to fool users in to submitting personal, financial, transaction or password data to what they think is their service provider’s website. Phishing is also a range of online fraud that aims to steal sensitive information like online passwords and master card information. To protect internet users against phishing, different anti-phishing techniques are proposed. During this paper we’ve reviewed various phishing and anti-phishing methods for detecting and preventing phishing attack.
