Abstract
Techniques are provided for detecting computer fraud. The techniques include obtaining a text version of a candidate destination and a graphical rendering of the candidate destination, comparing the text version of the candidate destination and the graphical rendering of the candidate destination with a corresponding text version of a stored destination and a corresponding graphical rendering of the stored destination, and generating a fraud warning if the graphical rendering of the candidate destination is substantially similar to the graphical rendering of the stored destination while the text version of the candidate destination differs substantially from the corresponding text version of the stored destination.
