Online scams have become a global epidemic, with scammers defrauding an astonishing $1.026 trillion in 2023 alone. Approximately one in four people has fallen victim to scams, and the threat continues to grow.
Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of the Scam Copilot, an advanced, AI-powered platform designed to detect and defend against the latest scams. This update includes cutting-edge features tailored to meet the evolving challenges in online security, offering seamless protection across all your devices.
At the heart of Scam Copilot is AI-assisted automatic detection, which continuously learns and adapts to new scam tactics. Whether it’s phishing, scammy texts, remote access abuse, or malicious websites, our AI technology identifies these threats in real-time, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.
With scams becoming more sophisticated, navigating online interactions can be overwhelming. And it's not just the number of texts, it's also that scammers have now become more compelling. We know it's hard to tell first time interactions from scam attempts and that’s why we’ve developed the Scam Copilot Chatbot—an AI assistant that helps you identify suspicious online interactions. Whether it’s an email, message, or calendar invite, the chatbot is always ready to provide guidance and keep you safe.
One of the standout features of Scam Copilot is Scam Wave Alerts, which proactively informs you about emerging scam waves in your region. By alerting you in advance, you can take preventive action before becoming a target. It’s easier to spot a scam when you’re expecting it. The alerts are powered by Bitdefender’s intelligence, ensuring you stay one step ahead of the threats.
From smartphones to desktops, Scam Copilot and Online Scam Protection provide full device coverage, making it easier than ever to manage your digital security. Whether you're browsing on a mobile device or checking emails on your computer, Scam Copilot has you covered with specialized protection for every platform.
We have also improved the SMS Protection technology for mobile devices (both iOS and Android) to better pick scam patterns up in conversations.
With the launch of Scam Copilot, we continue our mission to provide industry-leading protection that adapts to the increasingly challenging scam landscape.
Scam Copilot is included in the following Bitdefender product plans (both individual and family versions):
Stay safe. Stay informed.
