TraceScope system automates phishing URL triage with AI agents

Researchers have developed TraceScope, an interactive system designed to combat sophisticated phishing campaigns that evade traditional URL classifiers. The system uses a sandboxed agent to navigate potentially malicious websites, capturing behavior for analysis. A separate agent then verifies the findings against a checklist and generates a report with indicators of compromise. TraceScope demonstrated strong performance in evaluations, achieving 0.94 precision and 0.78 recall on real-world phishing URLs, outperforming existing methods. AI
