PhishGuard uses heuristic rules, blacklists, and automated analysis to detect potentially malicious URLs. Our system achieves approximately 70–85% detection accuracy. This means we may miss real threats (false negatives) and may flag legitimate sites as suspicious (false positives).
PhishGuard is an automated tool — not a professional cybersecurity service. Our results should be used as one data point among many. For critical security decisions, consult a qualified cybersecurity professional.
We are not responsible for: any financial loss resulting from phishing attacks on URLs we marked as safe; any legitimate websites blocked because we incorrectly flagged them; decisions made based solely on our analysis results.
PhishGuard analyzes external URLs but does not endorse or control them. Visiting any URL — even one we rate as low risk — is at your own risk.
Our password strength checker uses standard algorithms but cannot guarantee absolute security. Password security depends on many factors beyond what automated tools can measure.
Our phishing blacklist includes data from PhishTank and the Phishing Dataset project. These datasets are updated periodically but may not include the most recent threats. New phishing URLs are created constantly — no blacklist is complete.
