Its great that you scan malicious urls but whats the point if we cant even see what those urls are? It would be nice to know which urls are malicious so I dont go to them anymore, right? I dont understand why it doesn't show them if it can recognize them?

Hi Misty,

Thanks for your feedback — that’s a great question!
While our scanner can detect malicious URLs, we don’t display the exact links by default for two main reasons:

  1. Safety – Even viewing or copying a malicious URL can be risky if it’s accidentally opened.

  2. Privacy & Security Compliance – In some cases, flagged URLs may be tied to sensitive app or system data, so showing them could unintentionally expose private information.

For detection, we reference trusted threat intelligence sources such as URLHaus, and we also use our AI engine to analyze websites in real time to catch threats that may not yet be on public lists. 

We understand the value of knowing which sites to avoid, but the scammers creating thousands of links everyday. They become more and more creative. But don't worry, we will try exploring a secure way to let advanced users view flagged URLs in a safe, non-clickable format. Your suggestion helps us improve — thank you!

Stay safe,
Juanita Sebastian
