Features & Capabilities

PhishWall is a Firefox browser extension designed to enhance online security by protecting users from phishing and Man In The Browser (MITB) attacks. When accessing websites from businesses using PhishWall, the extension verifies the site's authenticity and displays a green signal in the browser if the site is trustworthy. This immediate visual confirmation helps prevent users from being misled by fake websites.

Additionally, PhishWall actively checks the user's PC for infections by MITB-type malware. Upon detection, it warns users with alert messages and can disable or remove the malicious viruses, thereby preventing unauthorized data manipulations during browsing. The extension requires installation alongside PhishWall's standalone program, which can be downloaded from the official SecureBrain website. By combining phishing detection and MITB infection protection in one tool, PhishWall offers comprehensive security for Firefox users concerned about online threats.

Is PhishWall Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

PhishWall requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

PhishWall is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
