Secure Link is a proprietary technology by Mailinblack that analyses the link at the time of click by the user. The user is warned if the link turns out to be dangerous.
Any link that’s included in any valid e-mail is rewritten by Secure Link. The goal is to check the original link as the user clicks on the link that’s been rewritten.
Secure Link then queries the system to find out whether the original link is a dangerous one.
And if we went even further on?
An e-mail with a link is sent; as it passes through Mailinblack’s verification, the link is rewritten to point towards Mailinblack’s own system, through a series of letters and numbers, and then, it’s released. Rewriting the original link is the key to allow for the link to be analyzed.
When the user clicks on the link, a query is sent to Secure Link, which in turn can query its analysis system, hosted on a dedicated server.
At this point, the browser shows an intermediary page, serving as lobby, while the system scans the link
As the scan is over, the system sends Secure Link an answer, so that Secure Link can properly direct the user.
If the link is not considered dangerous, the user will be redirected to the desired website.
The link may not be verified; two possible reasons:
If the link is considered dangerous, the user will be alerted of the potential danger through a dedicated page, recommending them not to continue browsing.
If the user wishes to continue browsing to the potentially dangerous website, despite being made aware of the risks involved, they can do so, by clicking on “Details”, then “I wish to proceed to this site”.
Proceeding to links that could not be analyzed works in the same way; the user simply has to tick the “I understand” checkbox and then click on “Continue browsing”.
