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.
