Phishing attacks have become a serious problem for users of online banking and e-commerce websites. A previous study proposed and evaluated a novel anti-Phishing approach that uses training intervention for Phishing websites detection (APTIPWD). The proposed approach showed that it helped users to make correct decisions in distinguishing Phishing and legitimate websites. In this paper, an approach to the implementation of the APTIPWD is presented. It also shows that the APTIPWD is feasible and can be implemented within any proxy-based network easily without writing a single line of a programming code and without undue disruption of the users system.
