Red "Might be Phishing" Warning

If you reach a website where ZoneAlarm browser security detects characteristics associated with phishing, your surfing is interrupted by a red "might be a phishing site" message.

This means that ZoneAlarm browser security’s heuristic detection has found some characteristics common to phishing, but the site has not been officially reported as a phishing site.

It could be a new, not-yet-discovered phishing site. Or, it could be safe.

See the Recommendations below to help you decide whether to trust this site or not.

Risk level of Web site

MEDIUM to HIGH for entering data or downloading files from this site.

Recommendations

The site may not be a phishing site, but we recommend you click Go Back if any of the following are true:

Did you get to this site by clicking a link in an email?

Does the address start with "http" instead of "https"? Sites that ask for personal data should be secured—indicated by https.

Is there a slight misspelling in the site address?

Does Site Status indicate that the site creation date is very recent or that the site is hosted in an unexpected country?

Why is the site questionable?

Heuristic detection has found some characteristics common to phishing, but the site is not officially reported as a phishing site at this time.
