What phishing is, why it works, and how link confirmation helps.
Definition
Phishing is when attackers impersonate trusted brands or people to steal credentials, money, or access.
Common channels
- Email and spam filters’ near-misses
- SMS (“smishing”) and messaging apps
- Social media DMs and fake support accounts
- Compromised ads or search results
Why links are dangerous
A single click can start downloads, OAuth consent tricks, or credential pages that look pixel-perfect. Redirect chains can hide the real destination until the last hop.
How confirmURL.com fits
We help you observe the destination and behavior in a throwaway session. You still need good habits: official apps, password managers that autofill only on exact domains, and hardware keys where possible.
