the US on Norton.com and the Apple App Store
TEMPE,
Ariz. and PRAGUE,
July 25,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Scams are one of the most
pervasive Cyber Safety threats of our time. The sheer volume is
staggering – people are collectively wading through 3.4 billion
phishing emails on a daily basis – and scams are becoming more
sophisticated and harder to spot without help. Today, Norton, a
leader in Cyber Safety and part of Gen™ (NASDAQ: GEN), is inviting
people to join in the fight against scams by offering early access
to Norton Genie, a real-time AI-powered scam detector, to provide
an easy, fast and free way to check if texts, emails, websites and
social media posts are a scam.
"Every day, we're inundated with messages and scams that have
become so believable that anyone, even the savviest of us, is just
one wrong tap from becoming a scammer's next victim," said
Ondrej Vlcek, President at Gen. "We
want to give people Digital Freedom – the freedom that can only be
achieved when you're safe and empowered online. Genie is an always
on, easy-to-use, trusted advisor that helps you stay ahead of
highly convincing scams. By bringing together best-in-class scam
intel from Norton with advanced AI, we can empower people to take
full advantage of the digital world safely, privately and
confidently."
Norton Genie is a brand new innovation from Norton designed to
be as simple as asking for advice from a friend that's available
24/7. With just a few clicks or taps, Genie will give immediate
guidance on whether the message, email, link or post is potentially
a scam and what to do next. Genie is powered by a unique
combination of Norton expertise and advanced AI that's trained on
millions of scam messages and the red flags to watch for. As
scammers adapt to new technology to make their attacks more
convincing, now more than ever, people need AI on their side to
help stay ahead of today's ever evolving scams. Norton Genie is
constantly improving to help stop scammers in their tracks and help
fight today's scams and tomorrow's.
Norton Genie is a comprehensive mobile app and web-based service
providing scam detection with the following key features:
- Fast, free and easy: You can upload a screenshot or
copy and paste the text of a suspicious message and Genie will
instantly tell you if a message or site appears to be a scam.
- Norton technology: Genie combines advanced AI
with best-in-class cybersecurity data and technology to help
identify scams before you engage. As part of Gen, Norton tapped
into the company's investment and application of AI research and
innovation, decades of experience uncovering and remediating scams,
phishing attacks, and sketchy websites, and extensive library of
known threats to create Genie.
- Protection that evolves: The more people use Genie,
the smarter it gets. Our AI powering Genie will continue to learn
and adapt to detect new scams and help protect against emerging
threats. While Genie gets better and better with scam detection in
messages, emails and social media posts, we will be hard at work
developing additional ways Genie can protect people from other
types of scams they could fall victim to.
- Trusted advice: Beyond telling you if a message is
likely a scam, Genie takes it one step further by answering your
most pressing follow-up questions. How did it know the message was
a scam? What should you do next? Like a trusted advisor, Genie
empowers you with the information you need to be safer in your
digital life.
Norton Genie is still learning and in an early access phase.
Genie is available now in the United
States for free at Norton.com and the Apple App Store.
Norton Genie is compatible with iOS 14.0 or greater, Chrome,
Safari, Microsoft Edge and Firefox. Norton Genie is expected to
become generally available, expand platform availability to
Android, and enter new markets later this year. To learn more,
