Why Personalized Early Warning Is Crucial for Online Safety
With data breaches and geopolitical uncertainty fueling new waves of cyber threats, cybercriminals have more tools than ever to trick individuals. Many scams are designed to be undetectable—even by technology-savvy users. According to Trend Micro’s study, while 52% of surveyed users believe they can spot a scam, advanced phishing schemes keep evolving. Early detection empowers users to protect themselves and loved ones, including elderly family members or those less familiar with modern scams.
