The second Tuesday of February marks Safer Internet Day, a global event that promotes safe internet practices, especially for children and young adults. We need an awareness event like this because of the dangers that unsuspecting users might encounter on the internet.
While Safer Internet Day mainly targets young people, hackers looking to steal data and money are more interested in adults who don't know how to protect themselves when browsing the web.
That's where Google services can come in handy. The company published a new blog post to remind us that Chrome's Google Safe Browsing service can help them stay safe by identifying all sorts of dangers in real time.
Malware, phishing attempts, and other online threats all impact your safety, especially if you don't know what you're doing. That's where Google AI algorithms can help, as they'll identify shady websites impersonating real businesses or dangerous downloads before they can produce any harm. But it only works if you enable Enhanced Protection mode in Chrome's Safe Browsing menu.
