Twitter is an immensely popular social networking site and micro blogging service where people post short messages of 140 characters called tweets. Phishers have started using Twitter as a medium to spread phishing scams because of the fast spread of information. We deployed our system for end users by providing an easy to use “Web framework” which takes the tweet id and the specific keyword, and in return it will give tweets indicating legitimate or unsafe. We have a green background indicating a legitimate or safe URL and red symbols indicating the malicious or phishing URL with the help of APIs and machine learning algorithm.
