Sonar: Identify phishing emails with AI for Google Chrome

Sonar: AI-Powered Tool to Spot Phishing Emails

Sonar is a free Chrome add-on developed by NordVPN that uses artificial intelligence to identify phishing emails. With the increasing number of phishing attacks, it is crucial to have a reliable tool to protect your data and devices from online scams.

Once installed, Sonar provides an additional line of defense by scanning emails in Gmail. Users can simply open an email and click the Sonar button to analyze its contents. Sonar then evaluates the risk level of the email, displaying a low, moderate, or high risk assessment.

To determine the risk level, Sonar examines various aspects of the email, including suspicious objects, language used, links included, sender's name and email address, and the recipient's instructions. If any of these aspects raise suspicions, Sonar notifies the user.

After receiving the scan results, users can take appropriate action. They can delete the email immediately, contact the sender through other channels, or continue as usual. Sonar provides a thorough risk analysis in seconds, saving users from the need for meticulous email inspections.

It is important to note that Sonar currently only works with Gmail and is available for testing to users who signed up for the waitlist on labs.nordvpn.com. Sign up now and protect your peace of mind from phishing attacks with Sonar.
