  In the *features* dataset, there're 911,180 websites online at the time of data collection. The plots below show the regression line and correlation coefficients of 22+ features extracted and whether the URL is malicious.

  If we could plot the lifespan of URLs, we could see that the oldest website has been online since Nov 7th, 2008, while the most recent phishing websites appeared as late as July 10th, 2023.

- 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`, 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).

- Therefore, I removed these columns from the *features* set.

  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:
