Is Nighthawk by PhishFort safe?
Nighthawk by PhishFort sends an embedded API key when it fetches its protection lists and rules.
The extension contacts nighthawk-cdn.phishfort.com for the Nighthawk list and night-hawk-api.herokuapp.com for rules, adding a bundled x-api-key value to those requests. The evidence shows a static credential/header being sent for list and rule updates, not browsing history or page content.
