Anti-Phishing protection
Phishing is a criminal activity that uses social engineering (manipulating users to obtain confidential information). Phishing is used to access sensitive data such as bank account numbers, PINs, etc. For more information, see the glossary. ESET Safe Server includes anti-phishing protection, which blocks web pages known to distribute this type of content.
Anti-Phishing protection is enabled by default. This setting can be configured in Advanced setup > Protections > Web access protection.

Accessing a phishing website
When you access a recognized phishing website, your web browser will display the following dialog. If you still want to access the website, click Ignore threat (not recommended).

Potential phishing websites that have been whitelisted will expire after several hours by default. To allow a website permanently, use the URL address management tool. In Advanced setup > Protections > Web access protection > URL address management > Address list > Edit add the website that you want to edit to the list. |
Report a phishing site
The Report an incorrectly blocked page link enables you to report a website that is incorrectly detected as a threat.
Alternatively, you can submit the website by email. Send your email to samples@eset.com. Remember to use a descriptive subject and enclose as much information about the website as possible (for example, the website that referred you there, how you learned of this website, etc.).
