Introducing the New Scam Copilot: AI-Powered Protection Across Devices

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.

AI-powered scam detection at its core

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.

Meet your new digital ally: Scam Copilot Chatbot

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.

Stay ahead of scammers with Scam Wave Alerts

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.

Comprehensive protection across all devices

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.
