Want to help users to avoid some Phishing Attacks with HTML?

? Use rel="noopener noreferrer" while adding external links to your website to improve user navigation security.

<a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://...">
 External Link
</a>

? noopener: tells the browser to remove sensitive data from window.opener object when the user arrives at the destination website.

? noreferrer: protect sensitive data of the origin website removing it from the Referrer header while the user navigates between origin website and destination website.

? Super easy security strategy to implement. Adopt this recommendation without moderation.
