How ngrok Actively Combats Phishing Attacks

What's this blog post about?

ngrok actively combats phishing attacks by blocking unauthenticated users from serving HTML content via HTTP tunnels and displaying a warning screen to users hosting sensitive information. The platform also performs fuzzy matching on HTML content for free accounts and bans accounts suspected of hosting phishing pages. Paid ngrok accounts have fewer restrictions. The company has implemented various security measures, including custom domain configuration, IP restrictions, and access control lists, to protect its customers from malicious use. Ngrok is designed to be a secure solution for developers to quickly and securely expose their web applications online, and it does not pose a significant threat to the security of organizations when used correctly.
