Arrr, me hearties! Listen ye well! NordLabs be havin' created a fine tool called Link Checker. 'Tis a marvel that tells ye if a URL be safe or riddled with treacherous malware. Gather 'round and I'll tell ye all ye need to know!
Dodgy links and malicious sites are a constant problem in the digital world, and NordVPN has come up with a new tool called Link Checker to tackle this issue. The tool allows users to check the validity of suspicious URLs by simply pasting them into the Link Checker site. NordVPN will then analyze the link to determine if it contains malware or phishing scams. The best part is that this service is free and accessible through any browser on any device, even if you don't have a NordVPN subscription.Spotting malicious links can be difficult as cybercriminals often use tactics like misspellings or URL shorteners to deceive users. NordLabs, NordVPN's experimental playground for cybersecurity innovations, has developed Link Checker to combat these scams. It is a manual tool, meaning users have to input the links themselves, but once entered, the tool scans the site to ensure its safety. This saves users from risking their personal data or encountering unwanted ads by clicking on uncertain links.
To determine whether a URL is safe or not, Link Checker compares it against a list of known scam websites and malware, uses third-party databases from security experts, and employs NordVPN's machine learning model. Users simply copy the link, wait a moment, and Link Checker will indicate whether the URL is safe to proceed.
NordVPN has been consistently introducing innovative features to enhance cybersecurity. In addition to Link Checker, they recently launched cyber insurance for their top-tier subscribers and underwent independent audits to confirm their no-logs policy. With these developments, NordVPN aims to provide a comprehensive solution for online security.
