Abstract Cybercriminals often use fraudulent emails and fictitious email accounts to deceive individuals into disclosing confidential information, a practice known as phishing. This study utilizes three distinct methodologies, Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency, Word2Vec, and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers, to evaluate the effectiveness of various machine learning algorithms in detecting phishing attacks. The study uses feature extraction methods to assess the performance of Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Multilayer Perceptron algorithms. The best results for each classifier using Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency were Multilayer Perceptron (Precision: 0.98, Recall: 0.98, F1-score: 0.98, Accuracy: 0.98). Word2Vec’s More >
