Extension summary
Phishing Net is a FREE web browser extension (and always will be, without any limitations) that acts as a virtual firewall, protecting you from malicious websites, domains and links.
Your anti-virus software or internet provider will protect you from some malicious links on the internet, but not all of them.
We capture and process threat intelligence everyday and share this with all of our users. It is automatically updated every time you open your browser.
We share our threat intelligence with everyone and encourage you to do the same. If you've received a suspicious link, don't click it, but share it with us instead and we can investigate and protect all of our users from it.
Legitimate businesses and organisations are impersonated everyday. 95% of cyber attacks are the result of successful phishing.
How does Phishing Net work?
Step 1: In the background of Phishing Net, we are reading all of the links, websites and domains that are attempting to be loaded to view the website you are visiting, without recording any of your traffic. All of this is checked against the Phishing Net Threat Intelligence database.
Step 2: If the malicious link matches a link, website or domain in our database, Phishing Net will deny the traffic being loaded and redirect you to safety.
