Netcraft Launches Anti-Phishing Mobile App

Testing it but I barely encounter suspicious sites in a real world situation.
Let see with time.

 

Seems like Netcraft also has an extension that warns you if sites are hacked:

They want to much money for the Mobile ..... I must have made a mistake because the Mobil app only costs $6.00 a year i found out after i installed it. Sounds good to me so i just bought a year subscription for it. The Chrome Extension looks like it is free.

 

More protections have been added to the extension.

Netcraft Anti-Phishing Extension for Firefox v1.15.1 (September 2019) (AMO) (Version History)
Also available for Chrome, Edge, Opera, iOS, etc. : https://toolbar.netcraft.com/install

Yes, this is the extension which has been mentioned in #1
Protection against malicious Javascript has been added last month.

 

What's new in v1.15.0
• Added more protections against malicious JavaScript
• Added protections against malware

 

It would be interesting to know if Netcraft could have stopped this latest attack. I assume this Netcraft app works pro-actively without the need to update any signature list? But anyway, it's probably best to stop using creditcards for online payments, they are just not secure enough.

Protection against malicious JavaScript — Prevent your credit card details from being stolen by shopping site skimmers or your computer's processing power being harvested by web miners. Netcraft has been detecting shopping site skimmers, web miners, and other malicious JavaScript since 2017. The extension blocks sites that we have found to be compromised with malicious JavaScript. Additionally, it detects JavaScript that we have identified as being malicious, blocks pages that use it from loading, and automatically reports them to Netcraft to protect the rest of the community.

 

Apparently they crawl the web to search for infected sites. So I'm guessing they can recognize certain modifications to websites. And keep in mind, the Netcraft app and extension are two diffent things but they both do the same I guess.
