Extension summary
Phishing Net is a browser extension that protects you from malicious websites and links.
Your anti-virus software or internet provider will not protect you from malicious links on the internet.
There is an ever increasing risk of some form of a cyber attack happening, because people are tricked into clicking links received in emails, on social media posts, or even links in articles that are on the internet.
Legitimate businesses and organisations are impersonated everyday. 95% of cyber attacks are the result of successful phishing.
New tactics are being developed daily to try and convince us to click malicious links by scammers and hackers, and we as a team of security professionals, decided to do something about it.
So we've developed our browser extension to protect you from known malicious links called Phishing Net. It automatically updates every time your web browser opens with the latest Phishing Net Cyber Threat Intelligence.
This means that even if you don't have any security measures, or you aren't connected to your employers virtual private network (VPN) that does have security measures like firewalls and proxy servers, you will not be able to reach a website address that we have identified as malicious. Even if you do have existing security measures, having an extra one isn't a bad thing.
In the event that you click a link that we have identified as malicious, we will not allow your browser to open that link, and we will redirect you to safety.
