PANews, October 14th news, reported by The Block, the cryptocurrency crime investigation department "Security Alliance" (abbreviated as SEAL) has announced a new method for reporting potential phishing websites that use increasingly complex techniques to hide hacker traces. SEAL stated that traditional automatic URL scanning faces common problems encountered by web crawlers, such as CAPTCHA and anti-bot protection, and that scammers have a "camouflage" feature that provides harmless content to suspected scanners, hence a way to see the content visible to users is needed. Their new "verifiable phishing reporter" adopts a new encryption scheme called "TLS proof," allowing white hat hackers to check in the form of the website as seen by potential victims. SEAL pointed out that transport layer security itself does not support generating session records, leaving opportunities for third parties to provide false content. Users can submit proofs through this program, and SEAL will verify and ensure that the content is properly signed.
