Coming to APWG eCrime 2024 Boston: Squeezing Quality Phish Classification from a Truculent LLM

In which investigator April Lorenzen tells the tale of finding thousands of phishing domains emanating from one trackable infrastructure, with more registered every day. In our volunteer effort, she had to find a way to automate labeling of the headquarters country of the targeted company and their industry. Determining the brand name of each targeted organization individually by hand was an impossible task. Surprisingly, LLMs hold knowledge throughout all countries of the acronyms used for government agencies, delivery service brand names, local financial institutions and more. How she use LLM APIs in this massive labelling task, the pitfalls, solutions and workarounds. #ecrime2024

Please join Estelle and other members of counter-cybercrime avant garde at APWG eCrime 2024 Boston next month. APWG eCrime presents research into every aspect of cybercrime — from tracking anonymous criminals across the cyberspace to phisher’s exploitation of Gmail notification systems to provoke responses to their lures.

This year's Symposium on Electronic Crime Research (eCrime 2024) explores the theme of taking back cyberspace from the criminal plexus — as framed by pioneering figures of our time. APWG eCrime 2024 Boston will examine technological exposures, policy aspects, economic foundations, and behavioral elements that fuel the multi-billion-dollar cybercrime plexus, searching for those catalyzing, organizing questions that will help turn the tide against cybercrime.

eCrime 2024’s program includes globe-leading cybercrime industry interveners and researchers — as well as plenary addresses by cybersecurity legend Bruce Schneier, fellow to the Harvard Kennedy School’s Berkman Klein Center, and Internet engineering trailblazer David Clark of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
