Metalyfe And MetaCert Protocol Team Up To Neutralize Phishing Scams and Malware For Greater Security On Metalyfe’s Platforms

Metalyfe, a blockchain based browser that features privacy controls as well as a reward system, announced today that it has joined forces with MetaCert Protocol, a cybersecurity company that identifies legitimate websites and social media accounts with a green shield of trust while simultaneously blocking phishing scams.

By integrating MetaCert Protocol into Metalyfe’s systems, protection against phishing and malware is extended to all Metalyfe platforms. Users will know it’s safe to open a link or send crypto to an address when they see the green shield from MetaCert.

“A major concern has been the legitimacy of bots that are entering several ICO’s social media communities. Bots have their place in the automation of airdrops and similar ICO-based activities. However, malicious bots have infiltrated communities, placing backers at risk. As such, Metalyfe has already integrated MetaCert’s software into our active and growing Telegram channel.” – Sameer Pirani, CMO, Metalyfe.

Annually, phishing scams cost America alone an estimated $500 million, and on a global scale the figure is much higher. The internet can be a sea of malicious activity, and modern browsers do far too little to safely navigate those channels. What’s more, many browsers harvest and sell private user data resulting from their browsing activity without regard or permission.

Metalyfe’s blockchain browser, with the integration of the MetaCert Protocol, is determined to offer users a better option. Metalyfe’s privacy controls ensure users can keep their data secure and MetaCert’s green shield is a lighthouse that will guide them to safe harbors when browsing the internet.

“MetaCert Protocol is the new shield of trust for the internet and by integrating with Metalyfe we are bolstering the security of their platform and protecting their user-base from malicious threats. You can no longer rely on the padlock provided by SSL certificates because they are free and widely distributed to phishing scams. The green shield we provide is an assurance that the website or social media account you’re looking at is real, and not some trap set by a phishing scammer.”–Paul Walsh, CEO, MetaCert Protocol.

Metalyfe blockchain browser.

The Metalyfe browser is a smarter, safer and more secure way to explore the digital world with a focus on user experience, user privacy and data ownership. It is a web browser, a multi-wallet manager and a portal into a plethora of next generation of Web 3.0 services.

The Metalyfe digital identity Peer-to-peer (P2P) technology creates a decentralized browsing process in which Lyfe coin manages the data related transactions on the blockchain. Thus allowing people and businesses to store and share their personal information, without relying on a centralized repository.

MetaCert Protocol is the new shield of trust for the internet.

MetaCert Protocol is decentralizing cybersecurity for the Internet, by defining ownership and URL classification information about domain names, applications, bots, crypto wallet addresses, social media accounts and APIs. The Protocol’s registry can be used by ISPs, routers, Wi-Fi hotspots, crypto wallets and exchanges, mobile devices, browsers and apps, to help address cyber threats such as phishing, malware, brand protection, child safety and news credibility. Think of MetaCert Protocol as the modern version of the outdated browser padlock and whois database combined.

As always, thank you for your support!
