A Chrome extension that will warn you if you are being lured into a fake Steemit website.
This extension will validate Steemit related websites by changing its icon color:
- red is for blacklisted sites
- green is for recognised friendly sites
- grey is for unrecognised sites
On Steemit.com, the system already marks external links with a grey icon on the right of each links. Steemed Phish will make that icon more obvious by coloring it in purple. On top of that, it will make a bubble appear next to the mouse cursor with a text explaining the fact that clicking on the link with leads you away so don't use your password.
Steemed Phis uses:
- a whitelist
- a blacklist
- a link detection from the current page
Blacklist and whitelist are hard to maintain but adding them help widening the coverage.
