As we continue enhancing Stingray to help stop online scams, we'd value your real-world insights and examples.
Where have you seen scams originate, beyond the obvious threats like fake websites and phishing emails?
We know attack vectors are often far subtler and more creative. For example, one notable romance scam began through an innocent game of Yahtzee with friends ... and unfortunately for the victim, it wasn t the real Owen Wilson on the other end.
If you have stories or examples of novel scam entry points, please share them. Your input will help make Stingray s protections smarter and more effective.
Hello world!
Is that link safe? Hover over the link in your email. Stingray will let you know if it's safe, suspicious, or a big risk.
Did you end up on a risky website? Stingray will flag sensitive fields like passwords and credit card forms, warning you of dangers.
According to the F.B.I., phishing, data breaches, and extortion made up most of the US$16 billion in losses to cybercrime last year in the U.S. alone. (Seniors suffered the most, losing nearly US$5 billion.)
The Stingray team is trying to tackle that problem through our completely free, available now Chrome browser extension. Check out our co-founder @imackinn's post below for more technical details.
We're also working on Safari (desktop) and iOs (iPhone, iPad) versions. More on those later.
