Malicious Websites

When building Aura, we had access to this massive data set of VPN (virtual private network) information. We then combined that information to identify patterns and anomalies in website traffic. Because of that, we know for a fact that most scams occur on websites that were created in the previous forty-eight hours.

That type of data is used to create intelligent safety’s smart network. Most fraudulent scam sites are spun up and abandoned within forty-eight hours, making the date when the website was published a key indicator as to whether a website is safe or not. Traditionally, this information has been moderated manually, but given the speed with which the sites are created and abandoned, manual approaches will never be sufficient. It often takes days to identify and block malicious sites manually. By that point, there is no value in blocking the site, as the attacker has already moved on.

With intelligent safety, this data check is automated for users through machine learning. So, when you go to a website, the system will automatically look at specific features to see when the account was registered and developed. If it sees the site was created twelve hours earlier and is now asking for your credit card information, it can be reasonably certain that your personal or financial information is at risk and can block your access to the site to prevent you from walking into a trap. Right now, these scam sites might not be detected and removed for up to two months because that process is entirely manual. By the time many are detected, they have already been inactive for weeks.

In addition to the safe browsing features, the intelligent safety system can turn on the VPN to keep your data safe every time you connect to a potentially unsafe public network, whether at a Starbucks or the airport. The built-in VPN is encrypted, so it hides your online activity from cybercriminals. That lets you shop, bank, and stream online content privately and securely, no matter where you are.
