Abstract
A computer-implemented method for automatically detecting and preventing phishing attacks may include (1) maintaining a credentials store for a user of the computing device that identifies both at least one known-legitimate website and credentials associated with the known-legitimate website, (2) detecting an attempt by the user to enter the same credentials that are associated with the known-legitimate website into a new website that is not associated with the credentials in the credentials store, and then, prior to allowing the credentials to pass to the new website, (3) automatically warning the user that the new website potentially represents an attempt to phish the credentials associated with the known-legitimate website from the user. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
