Phishing continues to increase in 2020, especially with the shift to remote learning, working and playing, converging personal lives, and work on the same device.

FREMONT, CA: SlashNext, the phishing authority and provider of real-time AI phishing defense services, has declared the launch of its 2.0 Real-time Phishing Defense APIs, tailored to protect the reputation and brands of internet, hosting, messaging, and cloud services from the exponential growth and dangers of phishing attacks around the world.

Phishing continues to increase in 2020, especially with the shift to remote learning, working and playing, converging personal lives, and work on the same device. Globally, phishers are utilizing fake login scams, fraudulent ads, scareware tactics, and rogue software downloads as attack payloads. They are attacking in and outside of email via SMS/iMessage, social networks, videoconferencing, new collaboration, and gaming services, significantly affecting the brands and reputations of businesses, consumers, and service providers alike.

"Millions of people have experienced examples of brand attacks whether it is the scary email scam, to 'change your password' from your bank or the fake 'pick up your package' text message from USPS or Amazon," stated Patrick Harr, CEO of SlashNext. "The explosion of these and many more phishing attacks is having a dramatic effect on the brands and reputations of companies and internet services. Our lightning-fast, scalable and highly accurate APIs are designed to scan, detect and prevent phishing attacks before they happen, protecting the brands and reputations of the services that people depend on around the world."
