@MetaCert

We apply Zero Trust to web links so people don't have to "stay vigilant”. Every person should be able to open links inside any app without relying on luck.

A browser extension we built, circa 2005. It shows visual indicators for specific resources Indicators link to visual certificates Cert info is also stored inside Content Labels Hence @MetaCert = verified assertions in the form of metadata w3.org/2001/sw/sweo/public/U…

I don't post much about "new" phishing scams because MetaCert classifies so many I'd end up spamming everyone - every few minutes. In this case, 100% of @MetaCert's and @MetaMask's customers are safe - they only trust URLs, downloads, and pages that display the Green Shield.

1/ Update: Initially we thought the issue may have been with AWS, however after further diagnosis, we have identified that the hacker has managed to exploit Godaddy, essentially they have hijacked our domain and copied our codebase and in the process changed the swap parameters

Good to see @Paul__Walsh and @MetaCert mentioned in a Wired piece on Zero Trust. Too often the incumbents with very little innovation to offer get to dominate the narrative wired.com/story/what-is-zero…

If you were told to avoid links from people you don't know, which one would you trust and which would you avoid? A or B? I'll do a deep dive with an article tomorrow. Don't be afraid to answer because there's no real "right" answer.

@UKSpeake Hi Steve, I'd like a chance discuss this article that you published itproportal.com/features/how… Any chance you could DM me? Or you can email me - paul @metacert.com

Organizations that can't detect phishing threats with security controls seem to think their employees and customers can detect them without security controls. So, we built @MetaCert to make it easy for anyone to spot a threat before they have time to blink, literally.

Not a single @MetaCert partner, customer or individual member has ever had this problem when protected by our software. It's not hard if you work with the right people.

If you own a lot of crypto, now would be a good times to: 1. Install @1Password - create new unique passwords for each important service. Costs less than the price of lunch. 2. Install @MetaCert and never fall for a phishing scam - costs less than the price of a cup of coffee.

MetaCert is in good hands however and great progress is being made with our crypto token. Distribution should happen very soon through our security software. I apologize if I have unanswered emails from anyone. I’ll try to get to them very soon.
