Mangaluru (PTI): A 25-year-old man was arrested for allegedly raping and impregnating a girl in Sullia taluk of Karnataka's Dakshina Kannada district, police said on Wednesday.

The man, a resident of Ubaradka Mittur village in the taluk, has been charged under Section 176 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, police said.

The accused was produced before a local court and remanded to judicial custody.

The victim's father, in his complaint to the police, said his daughter and the accused got in touch through a WhatsApp group. They began talking to each other later and the man asked her to come to Sullia on June 30.

The accused then took her on his two-wheeler to his friend's place and allegedly raped her there. When the girl complained about stomach ache later, the parents took her to a doctor, who confirmed that she was pregnant, the complaint said.

Further investigation is in progress, police said.

TraceX Labs today announced the launch of URL X, a next-generation enterprise URL security platform designed to counter the rapid rise of AI-driven phishing, malware distribution, and adaptive link-based cyberattacks.

As attackers increasingly use artificial intelligence to generate realistic phishing pages, dynamically rotate infrastructure, and evade traditional detection methods, organizations are facing a new class of URL-based threats. URL X addresses this challenge by combining real-time analysis, deep intelligence correlation, and click-time protection to stop malicious links before damage occurs.

The Rise of AI-Based Phishing

Modern phishing attacks are no longer static or easily recognizable. Adversaries now use AI to automatically generate convincing brand impersonation pages, personalize phishing lures at scale, and activate malicious payloads only after delivery. These techniques allow attackers to bypass legacy reputation-based URL scanners that rely on known indicators.

URL X is purpose-built to detect and disrupt these evolving attack methods by continuously analyzing URLs throughout their lifecycle rather than relying on a single point-in-time scan.

About URL X

URL X is a cloud-native URL security platform that protects users by evaluating links before and at the moment of access. The platform analyzes URLs using behavioral heuristics, infrastructure intelligence, and adaptive threat modeling to determine whether a destination is safe, suspicious, or malicious.

Designed for enterprise deployment, URL X integrates seamlessly with email systems, applications, APIs, and security workflows, enabling organizations to deploy advanced URL protection without operational disruption.

How URL X Changes AI-Driven Phishing Defense

Real-Time and Click-Time Protection

URL X evaluates URLs instantly and revalidates them at the moment a user attempts to access a destination. This approach neutralizes attacks that appear benign during initial delivery but become malicious later, a common tactic in AI-powered phishing campaigns.

Deep Search Intelligence

The platform incorporates a Deep Search intelligence engine that analyzes domain lifecycle data, hosting infrastructure reuse, redirect chains, and historical threat patterns. This allows URL X to identify newly generated phishing infrastructure and AI-assisted attack campaigns before they reach scale.

Behavioral and Infrastructure Analysis

Instead of relying solely on known blocklists, URL X detects malicious intent by analyzing how URLs behave and how underlying infrastructure is connected. This enables detection of polymorphic phishing pages and dynamically generated attack links that evade signature-based systems.

Protected URL and Pre-Click Defense

URL X introduces protected URL access, preventing users from directly opening unverified links. URLs are checked in real time at click, and access is blocked automatically if a destination is identified as malicious. Contextual warning pages provide visibility into detected risks while protecting users from exposure.

Enterprise Integration and Visibility

URL X offers a RESTful API that allows organizations to embed URL scanning into email gateways, applications, content platforms, and backend services. Webhooks enable real-time alerts and automated response workflows, while a centralized dashboard provides visibility into scans, detected threats, and exposure trends.

Comprehensive audit logging and reporting capabilities support security operations, compliance requirements, and incident investigations.

Key Use Cases

Organizations can deploy URL X to address multiple security challenges, including:

  • Defense against AI-generated phishing and credential harvesting

  • Email security and malicious link prevention

  • Validation of external links in websites and marketing content

  • Protection of user-generated content platforms

  • API and webhook URL validation

  • Compliance reporting and audit readiness

Availability

URL X is available immediately for enterprise customers worldwide. Flexible pricing models are offered based on usage volume and organizational needs, with free trial access available for qualifying organizations.
