About AreTheyPhishing?

Purpose

AreTheyPhishing? was created to bridge the gap between complex security tooling and the everyday decisions people make when they receive an unexpected email or link.

Instead of asking users to interpret raw threat feeds or logs, the goal is to provide clear, concise context: what looks suspicious, what is known‑bad, and what still deserves caution even if it looks clean at first glance.

The project is evolving over time, with a focus on transparent detection, practical education, and keeping non‑technical users in mind.

What the project focuses on

• Checking sender domains and links against curated phishing intelligence.
• Presenting results in plain language, not jargon.
• Adding lightweight heuristics over time to spot suspicious patterns.
• Publishing short, practical guides and examples via the blog.
• Designing a calm, trustworthy experience rather than fear‑driven messaging.
