AI-Based Detection and Mitigation of Malware and Phishing Attacks in Malayalam Language Cyber Threats
Abstract: The increasing adoption of regional languages in digital communication has introduced new cybersecurity challenges. In India, cyber attackers are increasingly leveraging Malayalam-language content to conduct phishing and malware-based attacks. Existing detection systems are predominantly designed for English and fail to effectively analyze low-resource languages. This paper proposes an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based framework for detecting and mitigating Malayalam-language cyber threats. The framework integrates Natural Language Processing (NLP), deep learning models, and transformer-based architectures to analyze linguistic patterns, code-mixed text, and embedded malicious URLs. A curated dataset comprising real and synthetically generated Malayalam messages is used for evaluation. Experimental results indicate that transformer-based models significantly outperform traditional machine learning approaches, achieving high accuracy and reduced false positive rates. The study highlights the necessity of language-aware cybersecurity mechanisms for regional digital ecosystems.
