Cybersecurity company F-Secure is launching Scam Encyclopedia, a digital guide mapping more than 50 types of online scams. The guide is based on several decades of security research and describes scams from the victims’ perspective to make warning signs easier to spot.
According to F-Secure, 52 percent of scam victims now lose money, more than twice the proportion of a year ago.
The guide covers cryptocurrency, social media and shopping scams, among others, and will be updated continuously with new methods.
