Brave adds solutions to protect users from crypto attacks
Privacy-based browser has incorporated open source solutions to prevent phishing attacks
This Tuesday Brave announced through its Twitter social network account the incorporation of open source solutions from the cybersecurity firm PhishFort.
The main goal is to help users prevent phishing attacks, a scam that generally tricks its victims into providing personal information with a fake email that leads to a fake website. If the software detects crypto scams, users will be warned about suspicious domains.
According to the PhishFort report published in June, “the reward is as valuable and anonymous as crypto assets and secrets. These attackers act quickly and target the most used and popular applications.
According to the report, “when you are a crypto user, your username and password are only the beginning of your problems, and phishers are using the specific tools we use to interact with our crypto”.
The anti-phishing firm has been helping companies used by crypto holders to defend themselves against any attack. In April, the company supported the important sector with the elimination of 49 Google Chrome web browser extensions targeting phishing scams designed to steal digital assets from hardware and software wallet holders.
