The problem Malicious URL detector solves

Phishing is a type of social engineering attack often used to steal user data, including login credentials and credit card numbers. It occurs when an attacker, masquerading as a trusted entity, dupes a victim into opening an email, instant message, or text message. This leads to the victim giving away private information like OTPs, pins, passwords etc. In modern times, it is extremely important to ensure that users of the world wide web are safeguarded from these attacks. One way to prevent this is by predicting whether or not a particular URL that the user goes to is Malicious or not.
