Phishing detection
Fake Nitro gifts, cloned Steam logins and "verify your account" pages spread fastest through hijacked accounts in busy chats. Phishing detection checks every link the moment it is posted and removes the dangerous ones before your members can click them.
What you get
- Checks every link against a constantly updated threat list
- Catches phishing pages hosted on Google Forms, bit.ly and other shared sites
- Blocks malware and fake download links too, if you want it
- Your own allow and block lists on top
How it works
Turn on the built-in Phishing detection rule under Automod. It starts with the safest defaults: delete the message, alert your staff and log it. There is no ban by default, because the person posting a scam link is usually a friend whose account was taken over.
Links on shared sites are judged page by page, so a phishing form on Google Forms is removed while every normal Google Doc keeps working. Domains that exist only to phish are blocked on every page and subdomain.
It is an ordinary automod rule, so every automod option applies: conditions, channel and role limits, a different punishment, or combining it with other triggers in one rule. Add your own domains to never flag or always block.
Checks are quick and never hold up chat. If the threat list cannot be reached, the link goes through instead of freezing the conversation.
