McAfee announced the launch of AI-powered scam protection to track, spot, and warn users of potential online scams. The feature also protects users if they accidentally click on a malicious link.
McAfee Scam Protection proactively blocks sites with malicious links from loading.
Once activated, the AI-powered feature notifies users about scam text before they open a message. The feature scans URLs in text messages to ensure users do not click on malicious links.
The feature aims to counter the use of AI by threat actors to create convincing, personalised scams at scale, that are used to launch phishing attacks. The feature is capable of scanning malicious links in text, email, search results, and social media.
