Phishing &
Scam Spotter
Phishing is how most laptops, phones, and accounts get compromised — one click on a convincing message. Paste a suspicious email or text below and we'll point out the warning signs in plain English, so you (and your team) learn to spot them.
🔒 Your message never leaves this page. The whole analysis happens in your browser — nothing you paste is uploaded, logged, or sent to ByTE X Bit or anyone else. Close the tab and it's gone.

What to do
Stay safe
🔒 100% client-side. Analysis happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded or stored. This is a guide, not a guarantee — a clean-looking message can still be a scam. When in doubt, verify through a channel you trust.
Also check a file or link
Got a suspicious attachment or link?
Drop a file to get its unique fingerprint, or paste a link to scan it for common red flags — all computed right here in your browser.
📄
Drop a file here, or click to browse
Your file stays on your device — we only read it to compute a fingerprint. Email attachment? Download it to your computer first — browsers can't read files dragged straight from email.
SHA-256 fingerprint
Checks this fingerprint against VirusTotal's 70+ engines — the result shows here; you stay on this page.
🔒 What happens to your data: the fingerprint and the structural link checks are computed entirely on your device — your file itself never leaves your computer and is never uploaded. If you choose to click Scan for threats, one thing is sent: the file’s fingerprint, or the link exactly as you typed it. It goes to our server and on to VirusTotal to check against their threat database. A fingerprint reveals nothing about your file’s contents, but a link you submit becomes visible to other VirusTotal users — so if it contains an email address, a token, or anything personal, skip the threat scan. Nothing is sent unless you click that button, and we don’t store what you check.
