With the rising use of social media, phishing attacks targeting users on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn have become a significant threat. Malicious links, fake login pages, and impersonation accounts can steal credentials, spread malware, or compromise personal and organizational data. This project provides a real-time alert system that monitors social media interactions and detects potential phishing attempts, helping users and organizations prevent unauthorized access, credential theft, and reputational damage.

What You Get

A web-based platform that scans social media content for malicious links, suspicious messages, and impersonation accounts. The system generates real-time alerts, provides risk scores, and logs phishing attempts. Admins or users can configure alerts for specific accounts, hashtags, or messages, and the platform integrates with email or SMS notification systems to instantly warn about threats.
