How does Bitdefender help prevent phishing or scam websites?

Bitdefender's new technology called Scam Alert, available on the Mobile Security & Antivirus app for Android, helps users stay secure by notifying them of dangerous links that come through SMS, messaging apps, and all types of alerts. This technology can detect and alert users to various types of scams, phishing attempts, and malware campaigns that are often spread through Android user communities.

Sometimes, unsuspecting victims unknowingly share dangerous links, believing that they are receiving legitimate services from their contacts. In some cases, dangerous websites may send alarming notifications, or compromised devices may send harmful messages themselves. Regardless of the method used to distribute these links, they can pose security risks to Android users.

Proactive defense before the original protection

With Bitdefender's security solutions, web phishing attempts can be detected, and new features will warn users of dangerous links in messages or notifications before they open them. This proactive approach to preventing attacks can help keep users safe from smishing or other phishing scams that may spread more frequently than people realize.

How it works

Scam Alert is a new technology from Bitdefender that monitors all SMS messages and Android notifications when a potentially dangerous link arrives. The user will receive a warning and the security solution has two options: Closing information or viewing more details with important recommendations such as:

• Do not access or forward links

• If possible, delete the message

• Block the sender if they are not a trusted contact

• Delete or reinstall apps that send notifications

This technology will not delete messages or take any direct measures related to text or another source for malicious alerts even if the user dismisses the notification and attempts to access the link. The web protection feature from the security solution detects and issues another warning to the user.

Installing Bitdefender's Mobile Security & Antivirus on Android will demonstrate its reliable operation. Scam Alert is another feature that proves that users can trust the application well.

Scam Alert is a feature of Bitdefender Mobile Security Antivirus application that is included with the Total Security suite.
