A Study of Multiple Password Leakage Factors Caused by Phishing and Pharming Attacks

Abstract

In this paper, we studied threats and risks that users might enter their passwords without awareness onto phishing and pharming sites, and particularly showed that it was highly likely to leak the secret information of multiple passwords by user experiments. The novel methodology of verifying those threats and risks is the major contribution of this paper. We will extend this work for further verification of our findings.
