McAfee Introduces AI-Powered Scam Detector to Tackle Rising Fraud

The new tool, launching this spring, uses AI to identify and flag text, email, and video scams in real time, offering enhanced protection for users.

McAfee unveiled its AI-powered Scam Detector at CES 2025, designed to combat the increasing sophistication of online scams.
The tool analyzes and flags suspicious emails, text messages, and AI-generated deepfake videos before users interact with them.
Scam Detector will be available at no extra cost to McAfee customers with eligible plans starting this spring.
The AI system provides real-time alerts with explanations, helping users recognize and avoid scams that exploit emotions like fear and trust.
Scams have become the leading form of fraud, with financial losses surging 121% last year, emphasizing the need for advanced protective measures.
