Abstract
Social phishers continuously adapt the novel trapping techniques of prying usernames and passwords by establishing a friendly relationship through microblog messages using various social networking environments (SNEs) for financial benefits. APWG report of 2018 shows the successive rise in phishing attacks via URLS, fake Web sites, spoofed e-mail links, domain name usage, and social media content (APWG, Anti-Phishing Working Group report [1]). Innumerable defending techniques had been proposed earlier, but are still vulnerable due to exchange of compromised microblogs in SNEs resulting in leaking of confidential information and falling prey to phishers attack. To mitigate the latent fraudulent phishing mechanisms, there is a scope and an immense need to get rid of phishing attacks in SNEs. This paper surveys and analyzes the various social phishing detection and prevention mechanisms that are developed for SNEs.
