Guardio’s browser extension helps protect customers from malicious extensions disguised as legitimate cryptocurrency wallets. These extensions are designed to steal users’ private keys and other valuable information. This extension is part of Guardio’s efforts to help identify and mitigate new threats and provide a safe online experience.
Guardio has been providing security solutions since 2018 and was created with a vision to make top-notch security available for everyone.
Recently, they have seen an increase in phishing scams targeting people interested in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.
According to a new study, fraudsters stole $14 billion worth of cryptocurrency in 2021, setting the most ever taken record. According to blockchain data firm Chainalysis’ “2022 Crypto Crime Report,” findings from which were released Thursday, Jan. 6, found that cryptocurrencies were stolen at a rate of over $7.8 billion per year in 2021, up almost twice from 2020’s $7.8 billion total.
These schemes are often executed by distributing browser extensions posing as legitimate cryptocurrency wallets on specific browsers, stealing private keys and other sensitive information, like passwords and login credentials. And it typically happens when users log in to their accounts at sites like MyEtherWallet or Coinbase or Metamask users.
To help protect their customers from these types of attacks, Guardio has created a browser extension that will warn users when they are about to install a malicious extension and block any attempt to steal personal data. This extension is available for free on the Chrome Web Store.
As Guardio’s founders said, “Our goal was to take a different approach to protect online users. By combining our careers in Cyber and Data, we were able to create a new product breed.”
With Guardio’s browser extension, Amos, Michael & Daniel’s dream has become a reality.
Guardio has delivered cryptocurrency investors trusted protection against the most sophisticated crypto and phishing scams by adding several advanced features to their flagship browser extension.
A move to the cloud contains all kinds of security risks, from insecure APIs to advanced malware. It has also prompted the emergence of a new breed of cyber danger, producing vulnerabilities that leave customers open to malicious attacks.
Guardio’s solutions assist in the identification and mitigation of new threats as well as providing a safe environment and enhancing users’ online experience.
