Demo: PhishSense: A LLM-Enhanced Multimodal Framework for Phishing Website Detection

Phishing attacks pose persistent cybersecurity threats. In this paper, we propose PhishSense, a GPT-enhanced multimodal framework designed for detecting phishing websites. It integrates both visual and textual information through large language model (LLM) calls. Experimental results show that the LLM-augmented image branch reduces false negatives from 45.8% to 28.0%, while the LLM-augmented text branch lowers false negatives from 45.7% to 31.9%. Moreover, the multimodal approach improves overall detection precision by up to 75% compared to unimodal methods. These improvements enable our multimodal model to substantially outperform unimodal baselines, underscoring the potential of conditional LLM integration in improving phishing detection accuracy.

Abstract

Phishing attacks pose persistent cybersecurity threats. In this paper, we propose PhishSense, a GPT-enhanced multimodal framework designed for detecting phishing websites. It integrates both visual and textual information through large language model (LLM) calls. Experimental results show that the LLM-augmented image branch reduces false negatives from 45.8% to 28.0%, while the LLM-augmented text branch lowers false negatives from 45.7% to 31.9%. Moreover, the multimodal approach improves overall detection precision by up to 75% compared to unimodal methods. These improvements enable our multimodal model to substantially outperform unimodal baselines, underscoring the potential of conditional LLM integration in improving phishing detection accuracy.
