Malwarebytes has expanded scam detection by integrating its threat-intelligence capabilities directly into ChatGPT, making scam checks faster and more accessible for everyday users and professionals alike.

With this integration, users can submit suspicious links, emails, messages, phone numbers, or domains directly in ChatGPT and receive an assessment backed by Malwarebytes’ real-time threat data. The response not only indicates whether content is potentially malicious, but also explains the risk factors and provides guidance on next steps.

This move reduces friction in scam detection by bringing trusted cybersecurity intelligence into a tool many people already use daily. It also helps close the gap between awareness and action, especially for phishing and social-engineering attacks where speed matters.

By simplifying how users verify suspicious content, Malwarebytes is helping improve online safety while reinforcing the role of AI as a practical ally in cybersecurity—not just for experts, but for everyone.

The FBI is warning about virtual kidnapping scams using altered proof-of-life images sourced from public social media to pressure families into ransom payments.

These manipulated photos often contain subtle inconsistencies and are paired with urgency tactics such as timed messages.

Key precautions include establishing family code words, verifying contact with loved ones, and documenting any suspicious images or communication.

I don’t usually post things like this, but it needs to be said:

A vulnerable woman was scammed out of thousands by someone pretending to be Sam Heughan. Her sister wrote to him in desperation. He responded with kindness—and a renewed public warning.

These scams are cruel. The shame is undeserved.

I wrote about it here.

🛡️ Blue checks can be bought now; be cautious.
