Threat Detection & Technology
Learn how SmishAlert detects smishing attacks using AI, what threat levels mean, and what types of messages are supported.
How SmishAlert Uses AI to Detect ThreatsEvery time you submit an alert, the app analyzes the message using a multi-layered detection engine built for speed, accuracy, and privacy.
What Do Threat Levels Mean? (High, Medium, Low)When you submit a suspicious message to SmishAlert, we evaluate its risk level using AI, threat databases, and behavioral pattern matching.
Can SmishAlert Detect Messages Without Links?Yes. While many attacks rely on malicious URLs, some rely entirely on manipulative language, urgent requests, or spoofed sender information.
Does SmishAlert Work on Voice or Email Phishing?SmishAlert is specifically optimized to detect threats that arrive via text message on mobile devices.
Why Was My Message Flagged as Clean?If you submitted a suspicious message and SmishAlert flagged it as “Low Threat” or “No Known Threats Detected,” you might be wondering why.
