Phishing attacks are an increasingly common cyber threat that exploit the trust users place in genuine websites by mimicking their look and feel. This research proposes a novel AI-based detection system designed to identify phishing domains that imitate authentic websites. Our approach leverages machine learning algorithms to analyze visual similarities, domain patterns, and metadata between phishing and legitimate sites. Through this method, the system detects phishing attempts before users are deceived. Key results indicate a high detection accuracy and a reduction (...) in false positives, which demonstrate the potential of this method for enhancing cybersecurity. Future improvements in realtime detection and integration into security protocols are discussed. (shrink)

This article aims to conceptualize the interplay between sarcasm, scatology and writing in Darija (Moroccan Arabic or Al-Maghribia) on the web in a post-uprising era. It focuses on the new Darijophone prose that emerged after 20 February 2011 protests in Goud and The Newزحيليكر‎ (The New Bumpkin). Originating with absurdist February 20 movement founder member, Mohammed Sokrat, this writing genre is realist, vulgar, profane, taboo-breaking, and borrows from the toilet space to poke fun at the schizophrenia, herd mentality and populism (...) that attend a modernizing society under a neoliberal regime. A vocabulary of trash, waste, filthy social types and risqué gags has informed a unique online minoritarian prose that is unpopular, yet widely read. This article studies the virtual politics and poetics of dirt and laughter in written Darija. Writing at the interstices of commitment and co-optation, this subcultural mode of knowledge production reveals Moroccan youth's heretofore suppressed yet incessant longing for change in a post-uprising context of disillusionment.
