Google has joined forces with the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) and DNS Research Federation (DNS RF) to launch the Global Signal Exchange (GSE) initiative to combat online scams.
GSE aims to enhance the exchange of abuse signals, enabling faster identification and disruption of fraudulent activities across various sectors, platforms, and services. The goal is to create a user-friendly solution that operates at an internet scale and is accessible to qualifying organizations.
Google is actively sharing data to combat scams, with over 100,000 URLs of bad merchants and more than 1 million scam signals already fed into the platform. The company is also partnering with Canva, Electronic Arts, Indeed, and LinkedIn to enhance protection for users.
In a recent move, Meta announced a partnership with U.K. banks to combat scams on its platforms through the Fraud Intelligence Reciprocal Exchange (FIRE) program.
