Meta is going to prevent you from falling for online scams (or at least, it's going to try)

Meta announced the launch of new tools aimed at protecting users of Messenger and WhatsApp from potential scams. This effort includes warnings on WhatsApp that will be activated when a user attempts to share their screen with an unknown contact during a video call, in order to prevent the disclosure of sensitive data such as banking information or verification codes.

Meta announced the launch of new tools aimed at protecting Messenger and WhatsApp users from potential scams. This effort includes warnings in WhatsApp that will be activated when a user attempts to share their screen with an unknown contact during a video call, in order to prevent the disclosure of sensitive data such as banking information or verification codes.

The power of Meta forces you (not to scam)!

Additionally, in Messenger, users will be able to enable a setting called “Scam Detection” from the Privacy and Security settings. Once activated, this option will alert users about potentially suspicious messages from unknown contacts that may contain signs of fraud. However, it is important to note that if a user decides to send messages for review by artificial intelligence, this will override end-to-end encryption.

Meta has taken strong action against fraud on its platforms, indicating that more than 21,000 pages and Facebook accounts posing as customer support have been removed. Since the beginning of the year, the company has detected approximately 8 million accounts linked to scam centers on Facebook and Instagram, targeting people of various ages, including seniors, using messaging, dating, and social media applications.

Scam schemes, known as “romance baiting” or “pig butchering”, are operated by syndicates of cybercriminals, mainly from Southeast Asia. This type of fraud involves the emotional manipulation of victims, who are led to believe in false investment opportunities linked to cryptocurrencies, triggering devastating financial losses.

With these new measures, Meta seeks to mitigate the risks associated with these scams, providing users with tools that allow them to identify and act in suspicious situations. More information is still expected on how these functionalities will be implemented globally.

OpenAI has announced the launch of its first web browser, called ChatGPT Atlas, which is currently available exclusively for macOS users. This new software incorporates all the features one would expect from an AI-powered browser, allowing users to browse web pages while interacting with ChatGPT in a sidebar.

ChatGPT, known for never failing…!

One of the most surprising features of Atlas is that its search functions are powered by Google and not by Microsoft Bing, despite the initial partnership between OpenAI and the latter, which has been one of its main investors. When performing searches within ChatGPT Atlas, users will receive ChatGPT-style responses, complemented by vertical search tabs at the top that direct to different types of content, such as web, images, videos, and news. Each results section includes a direct link to Google.

Mac users who wish to download ChatGPTAtlas can do so through chatgpt.com/atlas. The installation process is simple: after downloading the file, they just need to double-click the installer and drag the application to their applications folder. Atlas will be available worldwide for all user plans, including Free, Plus, Pro, and Go, with versions for Windows, iOS, and Android to be released soon.

Through Atlas, users will not only browse the web, but they will also be able to consult ChatGPT about various tasks, including content rewriting, personalization, and shopping assistance. Additionally, the application offers memory and personalization features, enriching the browsing experience.

With this launch, OpenAI continues to expand its presence in the tech market, offering new tools that promise to facilitate user interaction with the web through the power of artificial intelligence.
