Worried About Your Email Password? Surfshark Just Dropped a Feature that Means You'll Never Stress About Phishing Again

Why It Matters

The tool adds a proactive layer of email security to VPN offerings, helping users avoid costly phishing attacks and strengthening Surfshark’s competitive edge in the cybersecurity market.

Summary

Surfshark has launched an AI‑powered email scam checker that scans Gmail messages for phishing cues, currently available as a Chrome extension for Surfshark One and One+ subscribers. In a TechRadar test, the beta tool flagged 17 of 20 suspicious emails, displaying prominent warnings for detected threats. The feature follows recent expansions of Surfshark’s service suite, including 1,400 new servers and a mobile web‑content blocker, and is slated for future rollout to Firefox and Edge. User data is deleted after each scan and processed on Surfshark’s no‑logs, RAM‑only servers, preserving privacy.
