Google chrome to let you know if the website is fake.

Typo errors are usual, but some typo errors could get you into trouble. You might have noticed messages and emails coming from fake recipients telling you that you’ve won a free first class ride to New York on emirates.com but the website URL would be different and takes you to a similar design like the official Emirates website.

This can’t be managed by self, because most of the spams or fake websites doesn’t really look any different from the official websites. Phishing, spam attacks and data breach have become a normal thing in the internet world these days.

Google Chrome

Now, google chrome has an idea to implement correction check or domain check on their Canary build 70 accordingly ZDNet to ensure that their users aren’t going to fake websites.

For example, you might get a link from your friend to open yaho0.com and enter your email and password, but Google Chrome will spot that the Yaho0 has a 0 (zero) in it instead of an o and asks you whether the domain URL is correct.

Then it will automatically redirect you to the correct domain from the authentic database of Google which has the correct URL of most of the famous websites on the planet.

This feature will not completely clear of the fake market, but will definitely cut off a good percentage of misuse for the Chrome users. Let’s wait for the update and that’s more than enough to stay secure for a while.
