There is also Seraph (prevents common attacks, remote software etc) from the team behind the KitBoga scam-baiting streamer.

"Powerful anti-scam software that proactively detects, blocks, and alerts you to online threats before they cause harm. " https://www.seraphsecure.com/

This is going to be a very important service in the AI era.

All about the problem, a BIG one I’m glad you’re focusing on. Install the solution & how does it do its monitoring? Free to start, then…?

> Professor Sigmund, an archivist, codex-keeper, and cryptic mentor, is the Jungian-like mythic gatekeeper of serious security discourse. This magazine publishes technical white papers, narrative essays, and original research at the intersection of protocol, myth, and real-world defense, curated by the Professor.

Critical feedback - Gold font, font choice and some language feels like multiple popped collars look

I think this is a really good cause but I can't help but wonder about the contrast between the puppy analogy and then increasing the friction of installing it by making it a paid tool
kylemaxwell•56m ago
This says a lot, in a very pretty package, about the problem and how we should be motivated to fix it. But it seems like just a manifesto that alludes to a solution without making it clear what the (proposed?) solution actually is.

Side note, maybe fix some of the Unicode encoding errors that are showing up. They interrupt the reading flow and make it hard to figure out what's going on.

Near the end of describes an anti-virus like scanner that you install and looks for "patterns" that look like scams. For whatever that means and if it feels trustworthy to you.

Looks like an openclaw instance built this entire website and project.

Really good cause but I would place 0 trust in any of this.
