Summary

Protects your Google Chrome against Phishing Attacks using PunyCODE.

Hackers can use a vulnerability in Chrome to make it display an URL that is not the correct address you are loading. PunyFIX will look for PunyCODES and alert you when you were being attacked.

Until the publishing of this extension Google Chrome is not protected against this kind of attack.
