I'm Going to Build My Own URL Checker
20 Jul 2025
Over the last few days I dove deep into a question that had been bothering me for a while: validating suspicious URLs in the context of digital fraud.
FraudTalon already handles text, images, and emails. The idea is simple: extract any URL contained in that content and check whether it shows signs of being malicious. It sounds simple, but once you start testing the services available on the market, it gets a lot deeper than that.
