Phishing is one of the most widespread cybersecurity threats in todays digital world, causing confusion and doubt on the legitimacy of an email. Phishing doesn't just hurt computers, it hurts people. A successful phishing attack can result in financial loss, identity theft, and loss of private information. 

Everyone wants to be able to utilize technology for daily and work life and PhishProof aims to restore the trust in the digital community. Our team developed PhishProof so that people can eliminate this doubt while being educated on how to stay safe online.                                                       

To gain a better understanding of the impact of phishing, we engaged with students, professors, seniors, and family members from different backgrounds. Stepping into their shoes helped our team realize how widespread of a problem phishing is and motivated our efforts.
