Phish-Dect: A Chrome Extension to Detect Phishing Sites
Phish-Dect is a free Chrome extension developed by Team-7. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This extension aims to protect users from falling victim to phishing attacks by detecting phishing sites using an integrated API.
Phishing attacks involve a third party attempting to steal user data, such as login credentials, by posing as a legitimate website. The stolen data can then be sold on the dark web or used to directly steal money from users, especially in the case of banking sites. To combat this, Phish-Dect utilizes a machine learning model that has been trained on datasets obtained from Kaggle.
With Phish-Dect installed, the extension will notify users whenever they visit a potential phishing site, providing an added layer of security and helping to prevent data breaches and financial loss. Stay protected and browse the web with confidence using Phish-Dect.
