New Update Microsoft Edge is getting scareware blocker and secure password deployment option

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

At Ignite 2024, Microsoft announced new security and management features, including a new scareware blocker, that make it better for enterprises and users.

Scareware is already on the rise among online scams. Most online users have encountered messages like, “Your computer is infected, click here.” The new scareware blocker in Microsoft Edge will help protect users from such online scams. When a user comes across a website with a warning such as, “Your computer is infected, click here,” the new scareware blocker in Edge will alert the user that it is illegitimate information.

Microsoft mentioned that the scareware blocker is AI-powered and will continuously improve its detection capabilities based on user feedback. The new scareware blocker feature is expected to be available in preview for both consumer and commercial customers in the coming months.

So, there is a chance it will start blocking itself?

 

[Marko :)]

I refuse to believe this is real. Is scareware still a thing? I remember seeing last 10+ years ago.

 

[Morro]

Yes, it has been a long time for me as well, since the last time.

Just one more step for the disinformation blocker, like Malwarebytes does. Basically what the government or their chosen lap dogs experts say is correct and everything else is false.
