(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) LONDON, Aug. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The cybersecurity feature Threat Protection ProTM, included in the leading VPN application NordVPN, has been recognized as one of the top tools for combating fake online shop scams in an independent test conducted by AV-Comparatives. Among 35 tested solutions, Threat Protection ProTM ranked third, proving its effectiveness in protecting users from online scams.
“Fake shopping websites are a growing problem for shoppers worldwide. They look like real e-commerce platforms and often use professional designs, fake customer reviews, and tempting discounts to trick buyers. Fake shopping sites take payments from unsuspecting customers and disappear without delivering the purchased goods. We put our greatest effort into protecting our customers from the severe consequences caused by these sites,” says Domininkas Virbickas, head of development at Threat Protection.
AV-Comparatives , an independent testing lab, conducted an extensive test in June to evaluate the effectiveness of various cybersecurity products in detecting and blocking fake shops. The company tested 35 solutions against 500 fake shops and 100 real ones to see how well they could protect users. NordVPN's Threat Protection ProTM detected almost 70% of fake shops and ranked third among other solutions.
Additionally, while the two best evaluated solutions are browser extensions and work only with concrete browsers, NordVPN's Threat Protection ProTM protects user activities in all browsers simultaneously.
Recently, Threat Protection ProTM has also been certified by AV-Comparatives for its effectiveness against phishing. After independent testing involving real phishing attacks, NordVPN became the first VPN to receive AV-Comparatives' certification as an anti-phishing tool.
