- As we can see, there's no correlation between `is_malicious` and the columns `meta_percentage`, `mouseover_changes`, `not_indexed_by_google`, `right_click_disabled`, `age_of_domain`, `domain_registration_length`, and `popup_window_has_text_field` as of July, 2023, contrary to some [analyses of researchers in 2013 on phishing detection](./Phishing_Websites_Features.docx).

  The majority of features have very weak correlations with `is_malicious`, while some have a weak correlation.

  I split the classification task into two stages in anticipation of the limited availability of online phishing websites due to their short lifespan, as well as the possibility that research done on phishing is not up-to-date:
