Is PhishFinderAK safe?
PhishFinderAK sends blocked page destinations and deleted download filenames to a hardcoded Discord webhook.
PhishFinderAK monitors broad browser navigation and page content, then posts matched blocked or suspicious hostnames to a hardcoded Discord webhook. It also removes downloads and ZIP archives it classifies as suspicious, then sends the deleted file's name to the same webhook.
