Since 2001, NetSTAR has provided OEM internet categorization and security solutions to technology and telco partners around the globe. NetSTAR maintains category and threat data for over 36 billion URLs, domains, and IPs, and helps hundreds of partners across multiple industries. To extend its already massive list of malicious domains, NetSTAR has added Scamadviser.com as a technology partner and integrated Scamadviser's data feed into NetSTAR backend systems.
Steve Earnshaw, Vice President of Product Management at NetSTAR, elaborates: "Scamadviser's data is unique in two ways. First, it enhances our identification of malware and phishing sites with a rising type of threat - in the form of online stores that never deliver, pyramid schemes, pet scams, subscription fraud, and many other forms of scams. Second, the domains we receive from Scamadviser are often those who do not appear in search engines as consumers receive them via social media, WhatsApp, email, and through direct messaging.
Jorij Abraham, general manager of Scamadviser.com comments: "We are extremely happy with the cooperation with NetSTAR. While scamadviser.com is visited by over 100,000 consumers daily, NetSTAR protects more than 1.3 billion endpoints globally. This cooperation is a big step forward for us in realizing our mission to protect consumers from scams."
