O.P.N Perera, J.D.M. Grob · 2024
Phishing is a method of cyberattack that exploits social engineering tactics to deceive individuals into revealing sensitive information. As phishing tactics become more sophisticated, phishing detection gains a new perspective in cyber security research. This paper explores the potential of Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), in enhancing phishing detection capabilities. This study conducted a literature search in arXiv and IEEE Xplore digital databases with key phrases "LLM phishing detection", "Generative AI phishing detection" to discover insights and identify novel research opportunities in phishing detection. The results outline the current state of research, offering relevant insights to cybersecurity professionals and researchers.
