Phishing URL Checker

Analyze URLs for phishing indicators using heuristic detection including homograph attacks, brand impersonation, and suspicious patterns.

How to Identify Phishing URLs

Check the Domain

Always verify the actual domain name, not just the beginning of the URL.

Look for HTTPS

Check for HTTPS, but remember that phishing sites can also use HTTPS certificates.

Beware of URL Shorteners

Shortened URLs can hide the true destination. Use a URL expander before clicking.

Check for Typos

Attackers use slight misspellings of legitimate domains to trick users.

Review Query Parameters

Long tracking links can identify a recipient or campaign. They are common in legitimate email too, but unsolicited links with many IDs deserve extra caution.

URLs are analyzed locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.
