what is the “anti-scam” filter that the government wants to create?

The executive wants to create a filter “anti-scam”. What does it consist on ? In the event of an attempt at fraud or the sending of a dubious link, “a window will open automatically” alerting you to a risk of fraud, indicates journalist Peggy Mauger, present, Wednesday, May 10, on the set of 12/13. The site will not be blocked, “but you will know that it is referenced as a malicious site”continues the journalist.

A blacklist of fraudulent sites

Internet operators and browsers will be in charge of broadcasting the messages, “on the basis of a blacklist of fraudulent sites, which will be provided to them by the authorities”, adds Peggy Mauger. In 2022, 18 million French people said they were victims of an internet scam, with an average loss of 800 euros per victim, i.e. a total of 3.4 billion euros in total damage. The test will begin in September. An initiative criticized, because according to an expert “if a site is identified as fraudulent, a new one will be created within half an hour”.
