Phishing
How to check phishing links
A practical guide to spotting shortened links, lookalike domains, fake login pages and risky redirects.
Read the domain backwards
The important part is the registered domain before the final extension. Attackers use subdomains to hide fake pages.
Beware brand lookalikes
Extra words, hyphens, misspellings and unusual extensions can indicate fake brand pages.
Avoid login from messages
For banking, crypto and email, open the official app or bookmarked website instead of clicking message links.
