      • Cybersecurity SaaS developer, Hoplite Technology, launches a privacy-by-default anti-phishing solution that helps everyday users fight against phishing emails and payment frauds

        APBot is a cloud-based anti-phishing AI tool that uses email sender's behaviors and community crowdsourcing to protect vulnerable everyday-users from phishing attacks.

        14 Jan 2021, HONG KONG -- With an inherent emphasis in "privacy-by-default", Hoplite Technology, an innovator in cybersecurity, announced today the new launch of a free anti-phishing solution named Anti-Phishing Bot (APBot) [https://www.getapbot.com] to protect everyday users against phishing attacks.

         

        A phishing email is a form of cyberattacks where cybercriminals impersonate a trusted party to gain access to sensitive information. Due to the lack of ways to verify the identity of the senders, everyday users without technical trainings will often find it difficult to distinguish a phishing attack as the red flags are hidden in different parts of an email.

        While many anti-phishing solutions are designed for IT Administrators with cybersecurity knowledge, APBot prioritizes usability, and enhances the tool through community crowdsourcing. With just one click, the user could detect and report a phishing email, at the same time, similar emails will be flagged within the APBot community, and through this ecosystem the detection accuracy of the AI-assisted tool will gradually improve. To protect users' privacy, APBot also follows "privacy-by-default" principle to detect email frauds based on the sender's behavior and network profile without reading the email content. APBot analyzes email delivery path and flags out those emails with suspicious patterns, this process does not need to process the email content.

         

        "In the past year, our team has been investigating email phishing attacks and consulting companies who experienced payment fraud due to fake emails/invoices. In the process, we found out how difficult it was for everyday users to identify phishing emails," said Antony Ma, Founder at Hoplite Technology and Chairman of Cloud Security Alliance Hong Kong and Macau Chapter. "With APBot, a user can train a personalized and intelligent AI to help them in identifying fake emails."

         

        As of January 2021, APBot have been trained with a database containing email sender patterns from over 200 different financial institutions and it's growing every day with more and more users joining the APBot community.

         

        The ease of use is one of the advantages of using APBot which does not require the users to have any relevant training and can be integrated with popular email tools, such as Gmail, Office 365 and Hotmail, as an add-on without software installation.

         

        "Traditionally, identifying phishing emails requires training and network knowledge, but APBot has simplified the process. We believe senior citizens and students who are more vulnerable to social engineering will benefit from the protections offered by APBot," said Ma.

         

        Bank Emails Verified [https://www.getapbot.com/verified-banks]

         

        Knowing phishing email targeting banks' customers is a widespread problem. We collected and analyzed over emails from 200 banks and taught our AI tool to recognize emails sending from these banks. A genuine and authentic email will be identified with a "Verified" Logo, which will appear after one click, thus empowering the users to know if the email is legitimate. If you would like to contribute to this sender verification project, please contact us via operation@hoplite-tech.com

      • 網絡安全SaaS開發商Hoplite Technology推出反網絡釣魚解決方案

        以抵禦網絡釣魚電郵和付款欺詐行為

        APBot是以雲端技術的反網絡釣魚人工智能工具,使用電郵發件人的行為和守望相助的概念來保護易受攻擊的日常用戶免受網絡釣魚攻擊。

        2021年1月14日- 香港- 網絡安全公司Hoplite Technology 發佈強調用戶私隱的免費反網絡釣魚解決方案,名為Anti-Phishing Bot(APBot)[https://www.getapbot.com] ,以保護日常用戶免受網絡釣魚攻擊。

         

        網絡釣魚電郵是網絡攻擊的一種形式,網絡犯罪分子冒充可信任的一方來採取敏感信息。由於缺乏確認發件人身份的方法或電郵內危險跡像被隱藏,缺乏電腦技術培訓的日常用戶通常難以區分網絡釣魚攻擊。

         

        現時許多反網絡釣魚解決方案是專為具有網絡安全知識的資訊科技管理人員設計,但APBot優先考慮用戶便利,並以社群互助來加強資料庫。只需點擊一下,用戶就可以檢測並報告網絡釣魚電郵,同時,APBot社群內將標記類似的電郵,並且通過人工智能,檢測電郵的準確性將逐步提高。為了保護用戶的私隱,APBot遵循「隱私默認」原則,根據發件人的行為﹑網絡配置及電郵的傳遞路徑檢測電郵,而無需讀取電郵的內容。

        Hoplite Technology創始人兼雲端安全聯盟香港和澳門分會主席Antony Ma表示﹕「在過去的一年,我們的諮詢團隊一直在調查網絡釣魚電郵攻擊的情況,不少公司由於虛假電郵或發票而遭受付款欺詐。我們在此過程中發現了日常用戶識別網絡釣魚電郵的難度。現時,用戶可以透過APBot訓練個性化的人工智能,以幫助他們識別偽冒電郵。」

         

        截至2021年1月,APBot的數據庫已包含來自200多個不同金融機構的電郵發件人資料,並且越來越多用戶加入APBot社群,該數據庫的資料數量日益增長。

         

        易於使用是APBot的優點,因此用戶不需要進行任何網絡安全培訓。APBot可以在現時流行的電郵工具使用,例如﹕Gmail﹑Office 365和Hotmail,而無需安裝軟件。

         

        「傳統上,一般人識別偽冒電郵需要培訓和網絡知識,但是APBot簡化了流程。我們相信更容易受到社會工程學影響的長者和學生將受益於APBot所提供的保護。」

         

        已驗證的銀行電郵 [https://www.getapbot.com/verified-banks]

         

        針對銀行客戶的網絡釣魚電郵是一個普遍存在的問題。我們收集並分析了200間銀行的電郵,並訓練了我們的人工智能工具來識別從這些銀行發送的電郵。用戶在APBot點擊後便知道「已驗證」的電郵,從中了解電郵的真實性。如果您有興趣參與這個驗證項目,請通過operation@hoplite-tech.com與我們聯繫。
