OUR LATEST DEFENSES AGAINST EVOLVING WEB SCAMS

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Chrome's Enhanced Protection added ClickFix detection that scrubs PII from copied commands, sends them to Safe Browsing for analysis, and warns users when the verdict comes back dangerous. Google also moved its Gemini scam detection from on-device to a server-side model that scores page intent and brand impersonation, and it added a lower-confidence "suspicious site" warning tier beneath the familiar red interstitial. The company claimed Enhanced Protection users were ten times safer than Standard Protection users, a figure drawn from Google's own measurement.
