What is a malicious link?

A malicious link is designed to deceive or harm users by leading to phishing sites, malware downloads, or other cyber threats. Link redirects can hide the true destination of any link, so safe and malicious links can look nearly identical.

Frequently asked questions

What is a malicious link?

A malicious link is a URL designed to deceive or harm users by leading to phishing sites, malware downloads, or other cyber threats. It’s crucial to check any suspicious links before visiting them.

What happens when I click on a malicious link?

When you click on a malicious link, it can lead to your device being infected with malware, enable phishing attacks to steal personal information, install harmful software without your consent, or redirect you to fraudulent websites designed to deceive or exploit you.

What happens when you detect a malicious link?

We inform you about the verdict directly on this website or via email if you choose to receive a report. If this link was shortened using Rebrandly, we immediately block it, so it’s no longer a threat.

Can I check shortened links for safety?

We can extensively check links shortened using Rebrandly. If a link was shortened using another link shortener, we can only check the first link redirect for safety.
