This browser plugin will identify phishing attempts while you are browsing.

SpoofStick is a simple and useful browser extension that allows users to detect spoofed (fake) websites.

A spoofed website is typically made to look like a well known, branded site (like ebay.com or citibank.com) with a slightly different or confusing URL.

The attacker then tries to trick people into going to the spoofed site by sending out fake email messages or posting links in public places -hoping that some percentage of users won't notice the incorrect URL and give away important information.This practice is sometimes known as "phishing".

SpoofStick makes it easier to spot a spoofed website by prominently displaying only the most relevant domain information.

You can customize the color and size of the SpoofStick display to suit your tastes and make it harder for a fake site to try to "spoof" SpoofStick with a static graphic.
