We need a way to warn each other about scams. Attackers can target many, and can catch one in minutes.
Without an easy and fast way to share and check scam information:
- somebody is likely to fall for one
- people won’t know what to look for at the moment they are attacked
- people are confused on where to report or check suspicious messages
Some organizations use a “report phishing” button in their email client. But these messages often go into a black hole where no timely information comes back about whether or not they did the right thing.
A simple way that often works for smaller organizations is to have a “team chat” channel where people can post a screenshot if they see something, and others can comment on it.
