2 minute read

Cybersecurity firm Bitdefender has launched a new tool that provides real-time chat protection for mobile-based instant messaging applications.

Dubbed Bitdefender Chat Protection, Bitdefender Chat Protection apparently alerts users if malicious links are received or sent during live sessions via the world’s most popular software. chat programAnd the Including the likes of WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram and Discord.

The tool works via Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android, the consumer-facing platform tool to monitor, detect and stop link-based attacks delivered via messaging apps, notifications, and SMS.

How it works?

The solution constantly monitors chat sessions, alerting users to suspicious links that may attempt to steal financial data, credentials, or other sensitive information.

When malicious links are detected during chat sessions, the user then receives a warning with information about the associated risks and the proposed course of action.

If the warnings are ignored, the built-in web protection technologies prevent the user from going to the malicious web page.

For example, if users receive a suspicious link via their messaging apps, notifications, or text messages, they will be notified to prevent the link from being accessed or shared.

If a potentially dangerous link is inadvertently shared, users also have the option to recall or delete the message.

In addition, Bitdefender claims that the new tool can detect phishing attempts that rely on human curiosity, urgency, and impersonation.

“Mobile threats continue to increase, and cybercriminals are evolving beyond email-based phishing attacks to include SMS (smishing) and popular instant messaging applications,” said Cyprien Eastrat, Senior Vice President of Operations, Consumer Solutions Group at Bitdefender.

“With the new capabilities in Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android, users can rest and chat securely knowing they have powerful, real-time protection against malware, malicious links, and scams across their Android devices.”

The tool is already available for new and existing customers and can be purchased from bitdefender.com or the Google Play Store.

This news comes at a time when messaging apps remain a common end point used by cybercriminals to gain access to systems.
