5 Ways PhishFort's Free Browser Extension Strengthens Cryptocurrency Phishing Protection

One of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity today is keeping pace with phishing attacks. At PhishFort, our mission is to deliver cryptocurrency phishing protection that responds faster than attackers can act.

Our team currently achieves one of the fastest median takedown times in the industry, thanks to a global network of registrars and hosting providers. However, even when malicious sites are removed quickly, early victims may already have interacted with them. This raised a critical question:

How can we protect users before they ever reach a phishing website?

Real-Time Security with the PhishFort Protect Browser Extension

To close this gap, we built PhishFort Protect – a completely free and open-source browser extension that safeguards users from phishing attacks in real time.

PhishFort Protect automatically blocks access to domains flagged in our constantly updated phishing intelligence database. As soon as our systems detect a new malicious website, the extension instantly prevents users from visiting it – stopping scams before they cause damage.

This community-driven extension has already helped protect thousands of cryptocurrency users by acting as an early warning system against evolving phishing tactics.

Brave Browser Integration Expands User Protection

We’re excited to announce that our phishing intelligence is now integrated directly into the Brave browser, which has over 18 million monthly active users.

Brave is known for its privacy-first design and built-in crypto wallet. With PhishFort’s data powering Brave’s security layer, crypto wallet users are automatically protected from phishing websites, credential harvesting, and address poisoning attacks in real time.

This partnership represents a major leap forward in cryptocurrency phishing protection, allowing millions of Brave users to benefit from our detection network without needing to install an extension.

How PhishFort Protects Brave Wallet Users

Brave’s wallet users are frequent targets of phishing scams that impersonate trusted crypto platforms or inject fake recovery messages. PhishFort’s intelligence engine identifies and eliminates:

  • Fraudulent websites that mimic legitimate exchanges and wallets

  • Malicious mobile applications

  • Fake social media accounts distributing phishing links

By continuously monitoring the web for emerging scams, PhishFort Protect shields both users and brands from reputation-damaging phishing campaigns.

Expanding Our Security Reach Across the Crypto Ecosystem

PhishFort’s goal is to extend real-time protection across the Web3 and DeFi landscape. Our phishing detection services already support wallets, exchanges, and decentralized applications that need proactive phishing prevention.

If you’d like to integrate our phishing intelligence feed into your wallet, platform, or ecosystem, we’d love to collaborate. Integration is free and designed to enhance your users’ security without disrupting their experience.
