Crypto crime research organization Security Alliance launches a new way to report potential phishing websites

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, the crypto crime investigation department "Security Alliance" (SEAL) has announced a new method for reporting potential phishing websites that use increasingly sophisticated techniques to hide hackers' tracks.

SEAL stated that traditional automated website scanning faces common issues such as captchas and anti-bot protections, and scammers have "camouflage" features that provide harmless content to suspected scanners. Therefore, a method is needed that can see what users actually see. Their new "Verifiable Phishing Reporter" uses a new encryption scheme called "TLS proof," allowing white-hat hackers to inspect websites as they would appear to potential victims. SEAL pointed out that transport layer security itself does not support generating session records, leaving room for third parties to falsely report content. Users can submit proofs through this program, and SEAL will verify and ensure the content is properly signed and contains evidence of malicious activity. After about a month of private testing, this feature is now open to the public.
