Phishing Link Checker Chrome Extension
Lot and lot of people are losing their hard-earned money because of the phishing links all over the steemit. This chrome extension helps you warn beforehand if it finds Phishing Links in Steemit.com.
As of now the work done is
1 - If you go to Steemit-Rewards site it will alert you saying it is not Steemit Site, as it id one of the Phishing Site known. Will be adding more in future.
2 - Any Link in the Memo is not a Steemit Link it will give you a warining as shown below, where it will tell you beforehand that it is not a Steemit link.
3 - If any website ask for password, and if it is not a steemit or busy or utopian, it will give you a warning as an alert that it is not a Steemit Website.

Ok
Good job. I don't use Chrome as my daily browser but a lot of people do and it would be of use to them. BTW if you are interested you can claim rewards from @runicar mentioned in this video
Yeah I checked it, actually it was on my mind to create something like this...Still a lot of things has to be done.
wow this is going to help a lot of people. I just read a post by someone who lost 600 SBD because of the steewit scam.
Yeah it will defiantely help, have to improve it a bit though.
Very helpful. Thanks for this. Very needed with all that's going around on Steemit these days.
Thanks @qberry :)
Good work, we need Phishing Link Checker for steemit!
Can you add a logic that gives a warning when going to a similar URL. For example. steemlt.com (i is replaced by a l). There are also fishing attempts with UTF-8 urls, which look very similar to the original URL, but have a small dot below the m.
How about making a steemit post with a special tag for adding new URLS. You browser extension could then read the post content and could create a list.
I cannot find out the exact link, but my next release will be whenever a person clicks on any links it will show an alert box saying that it is not a steemit site.
