Why use Nighthawk?

🕶️Privacy focused - your data never leaves your browser.
🔍Transparent - the extension is open-source (https://github.com/phishfort/nighthawk-extension)
✨Free - Nighthawk is a Community project maintained by PhishFort.
🪩Great coverage - We protect some of the largest crypto companies in the space. PhishFort's anti-phishing intel is fed directly to the Nighthawk plugin and is the most reliable way of staying safe.

How does it work?

The plugin will indicate different colors depending on the website you're visiting.
🟢Green: Indicates that the domain is known and likely safe. For example, if you visit coinbase.com, the Nighthawk Status Icon in your toolbar will glow green.
⚪️Grey: The site hasn't been categorized. It's not necessarily unsafe, so proceed with caution!
🔴Red: The site is most likely dangerous. If you visit a malicious website, the plugin will notify you that you are on an unsafe site and you'll be sent back to safety. You're also able to bypass the warning if you need!

We're always looking to make the plugin better. Please let us know if you have any suggestions or ideas.
