affects assorted fields, such as online business, banking and digital
marketing, e-commerce which results in various financial losses and theft of
personal and important information. The main purpose of this paper is to
present a framework to detect phishing websites using various Machine Learning
Algorithms and to focus on several Phishing Attacks along with its
Classification Techniques. This detection is done using Uniform Resource
Locator (URL). There are many characteristics to distinguish URLs from regular
website links, the difference between real and phished website is not visible
to the human eye. This paper uses various Machine Learning models and compares
their accuracy to profile which model gives best possible analysis. This can
