Anti-Phishing
The term phishing describes a criminal activity that involves manipulating users into providing their confidential information on a website that appears genuine but is not. This type of manipulation is known as social engineering. phishing is often used to gain access to sensitive data such as bank account numbers, credit card numbers, PIN numbers or user names, and passwords.
Anti-Phishing in ESET Mobile Security also protects against other websites that were deemed malicious or dangerous.
We recommend that you keep Anti-Phishing enabled. All potential phishing attacks coming from websites or domains listed in the ESET malware database will be blocked, and a warning notification will be displayed informing you of the attempted attack.
Anti-Phishing integrates with the most common web browsers and social network apps available on Android OS. Chrome and stock browsers that come as pre-installed on Android devices (usually called Internet or Browser). Other browsers may be listed as Unprotected since they do not provide sufficient integration for Anti-Phishing. To fully utilize the Anti-Phishing functionality, we recommend that you do not use unsupported web browsers.
