Phishing Protection

Phishing Protection prevents Webinator from being used as a tool in a phishing attack.

Webinator has a redirect page as part of its Query Logging functionality, where it will provide a redirect to the URL specified. It would be possible for an attacker to specify a URL that, at first glance, looks like a link from Webinator, which the user may trust. After the redirect, it actually ends up somewhere else.

If Phishing Protection is enabled, the redirect page will make sure that any redirect request comes from Webinator.
