We propose a concept calledTORPEDOto improve phish detection by providing just-in-time and just-in-place trustworthy tooltips. These help people to identify phish links embedded in emails.TORPEDO's tooltips contain the actual URL with the domainhighlighted. Link activation is delayed for a short period, giving the person time to inspect the URL before they click on a link. Furthermore,TORPEDOprovides an information diagram to explain phish detection. We evaluatedTORPEDO's effectiveness, as compared to the worst case “status bar” as provided by other Web email interfaces. People usingTORPEDOperformed significantly better in detecting phishes and identifying legitimate emails (85.17% versus 43.31% correct answers for phish). We then carried out a field study with a number ofTORPEDOusers to explore actual user experiences ofTORPEDO. We conclude the paper by reporting on the outcome of this field study and suggest improvements based on the feedback from the field study participants.
