Zusammenfassung:Embodiments are described herein relating to systems and methods for blocking access to phishing-related content accessible via links that are presented via applications being executed on electronic devices based at least in part on implied intent on the part of users using the electronic devices. For example, anti-phishing software may be configured to detect selection of potential phishing-related links that are presented via the applications being executed on the electronic devices, to determine authenticity of the potential phishing-related links, and to take appropriate action based on the authenticity of the potential phishing-related links. For example, the anti-phishing software may be configured to analyze content associated with the potential phishing-related links (e.g., to estimate user intent) and/or to access potential phishing-related content at locations corresponding to the potential phishing-related links (e.g., in an isolated sandbox mode) to determine whether to block or allow access to the potential phishing-related content based on the authenticity of the potential phishing-related links.
