Scams are fundamentally an awareness problem. Detection works. Tools exist. Most people are still defending against 2015 scams while criminals run 2026 AI playbooks. Read this. Send it to your parents and your kids.

@troyhunt @haveibeenpwned Ok got it!

[Mark Beare @Mark_Beare]

@BeckyQuick Thank you for taking the time to work on The Path. It's really important and impactful for families dealing with a rare disease (like ours)

[Mark Beare @Mark_Beare]

@PetrSpevak @Malwarebytes Haha it drives our marketing team crazy but we have to practice what we preach!

[Mark Beare @Mark_Beare]

Scams are everywhere and they are only getting harder to spot. Even experienced internet users can find themselves second guessing a suspicious text, link, or message. That is exactly why I am excited to share that Malwarebytes is now available right inside ChatGPT.

[Malwarebytes @Malwarebytes]

Scams happen in conversations. Now protection does too.

Malwarebytes is now available as a ChatGPT app.

After connecting the app, just ask @Malwarebytes to check suspicious links, emails, domains, phone numbers, and more to make spotting scams easier than ever.

[Mark Beare @Mark_Beare]

@troyhunt Yeah that’s a big deal if correct

[Malwarebytes @Malwarebytes]

You can disable Copilot with Malwarebytes, btw.

@BingIsBackBaby @Malwarebytes @mkleczynski Appreciate the feedback. Are you using the same location every time or are you seeing the same speeds across multiple servers?

Notes on the UX feedback. Thanks for sharing

@troyhunt @Qantas @Ari_Hunt_ Probably the company that issues the Qantas credit cards

[Mark Beare @Mark_Beare]

@troyhunt @Qantas @Ari_Hunt_ Think this relates to age of account? As in they used to ask for more information years ago and if you created your account back then there is more data leaked?

Don’t get phished like I did this week! Welcome to a brand new sponsor, @Malwarebytes: Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocks phishing, ads, scams, and trackers for safer, faster browsing https://t.co/4hRV3wcipy

Malwarebytes does not offer paid support (and most companies don't either). If you are being asked to pay for support from any company, I would exit that website and go back to the company's home page to access support

⁦@Malwarebytes⁩ They want me to give them a credit card to TALK to support! 🖕dat.

@icebearx1 @Malwarebytes Sure to higher than anticipated demand for people running scans on launch day we saw some downtime. If you go and run a scan now it should work fine. Sorry!

Here's what we're changing in Browser Guard to meet Google's Manifest V3 rules. https://t.co/QIprhH4doY

@troyhunt It’s not always due to people being stupid. There are examples like this one where bad actors are looking like legitimate apps to get people to download infostealers https://t.co/GoLItjw037
