SafeToOpen Phishing Detection & Protection
Phishing emails can look and feel legitimate. They use the same design and logos as the company or organization they’re pretending to be, and the same kind of language.
Most phishing websites impersonate:
- banks
- social media sites
- government agencies
- online game sites
- online services such as email service providers
It is best to increase your cybersecurity awareness so that you can distinguish suspicious emails from legitimate ones.
Home-based security tools such as anti-viruses can protect you against known phishing websites. They can't protect you against never-before-seen phishing websites.
SafeToOpen is the best tool for protection against phishing websites. SafeToOpen detects both known and never-before-seen phishing websites and informs you once you open them in your browser.
Click on the SafeToOpen Online Security extension for your preferred browser and click on "Add to Chrome", or "Add to Firefox" or "Add to Edge". You may need to approve the required permission.
It is always a good practice to allow the extension to run in Private Browsing (or incognito) mode.
Now you can enjoy surfing the web and opening links in your emails and social media with peace of mind. SafeToOpen Online Security extension notifies you if the webpage you are browsing is not "safe to open" in real-time.
SafeToOpen Online Security extension examines the content of websites you are browsing and notify you if it has detected a malicious site.
