TL;DR

A novel, hybrid detection framework that constructs a structured “portrait” of each URL by extracting 12 discriminative features-spanning structural, semantic, technical, and morphological dimensions, addressing critical gaps in existing black-box AI systems and aligns with the stringent transparency requirements of security-critical domains such as banking, e-government, and enterprise cybersecurity.
