FYI - The highest scoring product, Fake-Shop Detector, is available as a free browser extension for Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and all Chromium browsers.

Why is Fake-Shop Detector the highest scoring product?

The Fake-Shop Detector checks every visited website in two steps: First, it searches an expert-curated database on reputable and fraudulent online stores and websites. If a website is unknown, a real-time analysis by Artificial Intelligence (AI) occurs.

Impact on Consumers

In the report, BforeAI warned that the fake Olympic shop domains, in particular, represent a considerable risk, as they deceive fans looking to purchase official merchandise and experiences. 

This could lead to significant financial losses for consumers and damage the reputation of legitimate vendors. 

BforeAI also noted that cyber-criminals have created fake websites selling Olympic tickets designed to harvest personal information and payment details from users. The stolen data may then end up being sold on the dark web or used in future financial scams.
