FAQ

We provide a comprehensive phishing link checker to identify potentially harmful links in emails and websites, as well as educational resources to help you understand phishing threats and how to protect yourself.

The phishing link and URL checker tool helps you detect malicious links in emails, text messages, and other online content. By scanning any links for suspicious patterns, our AI algorithm can determine if it’s a phishing scam or a legitimate source.

The Phishing Link Checker ensures you don’t accidentally click on malicious links that could potentially lead to identity theft or financial loss.

Our phishing site checker analyzes the link and compares it to a database of known phishing websites. If the link is identified as suspicious, the tool will alert you and provide information on the original URL, redirected URL, and URL status.

The Phishing URL Checker

detects phishing and malicious websites using a high-quality machine-learning algorithm. The tool parses high-quality datasets containing millions of real-time updated phishing URLs and feeds them into the model. AI reads patterns and learns to differentiate between good and malicious ones with more than 90% accuracy.

Here’s how the tool works:

  • Extracts all URLs from the pasted text
  • Scans these URLs to detect any issues
  • Tells you whether they are “Good” or “Suspicious.”

EasyDMARC’s phishing link checker is a proprietary machine-learning model that simplifies email security.

 

While using our tool is a safe way to eliminate the risk of suspicious URLs, you can identify phishing attempts or malicious links with the naked eye.

Ask yourself the following questions before clicking on any URL:

  • Is the Message Legitimate? When you receive a link directing you to another website, it can be potentially harmful unless proven otherwise.
  • Does it urge you to take action? This is a sign that you or your feelings are being exploited.
  • Who’s sending you the message, and what do they want? If the request seems in any way weird, always seek verbal confirmation.
  • Is the message grammatically correct? Check for any blunders in spelling or grammar. It’s not that hackers don’t know how to spell—they just misspell words to avoid spam filters.
 

There is a chance that you might not see any activity – if the website seems questionable, you can easily recognize it and leave. But clicking on a malicious link can also:

  • Install malware (viruses, ransomware).
  • Lead to phishing sites that steal personal info.
  • Trigger automatic downloads of harmful software.
  • Exploit browser vulnerabilities.
  • Redirect to scam or fraudulent sites.
  • Manipulate you into harmful actions.
  • Steal personal data for identity theft.

Always be cautious with unfamiliar links and use security tools to protect your device.

“Clean” is one of the outcomes of our phishing link checker. It usually means the link doesn’t contain any malicious elements. Basically, it’s a legit brand link and can’t lead to a phishing site.

“Suspicious” is the second outcome our malicious link checker tool can produce. It means the URL in question leads to a malicious website, and it’s better to avoid clicking it.

Look for signs like suspicious email addresses, poor grammar, urgent or threatening language, and requests for personal or financial information. Hovering over links and checking the website’s URL is also important.

Do not click any links or download attachments. Mark the email as spam or report it to your email provider. If it looks like it’s from a legitimate organization, contact them directly to verify.

Be cautious about unsolicited messages, verify sources before sharing personal information, enable two-factor authentication, and regularly update your passwords. Education and awareness are key to staying safe from phishing attacks.
