CyberCheck360 Link Inspector (Browser Extension)

Security Recommendations

  • Use Warning Page mode, not Banner. With Banner, the site loads behind the warning strip you could accidentally interact with a harmful page before reading the warning.
  • Turn on "Show warning for new domains." Without it, warnings for newly registered sites will not appear.
  • Keep the threshold at 365 days for the broadest protection. Lowering it reduces warnings but also reduces how many risky new sites get flagged.
  • If a Download Blocked warning appears and you did not click a download link, click Close. Automatic downloads you did not request are a common way to install malware.
  • When whitelisting, choose Full Domain, not Root Domain. Root Domain trusts every subdomain automatically, which may include addresses you have not checked.
  • If you see "Unable to verify domain age" warning and are not sure about the site, use Open in Sandbox to preview it safely rather than visiting it directly.
