Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for identifying a phishing website is disclosed. Content associated with a website that a user is attempting to access is retrieved and translated into a format that a classifier can process. The classifier is trained to identify phishing attempts for a particular website or family of websites. The classifier processes the website to determine if the website is a phishing website. A scorer can determine the likelihood that the classifier classified the website correctly. If the website is determined to be a phishing website a protection component can deny access to the website. Otherwise the user can be permitted to access the website.
