The Global Signal Exchange, a collaboration between Google, Global Anti-Scam Alliance, and DNS Research Federation, aims to combat cybercrime by sharing data on bad actors globally and fostering cooperation between businesses, governments, and civil society to address online scams. Google shared 100,000 URLs linked to fraudulent merchants, and the pilot initiative processed one million scam signals, with the official launch scheduled for Jan. 1, 2025
The exchange will primarily focus on sharing domains and IP addresses initially, potentially expanding to include fraudster bank account information and telephone numbers. The initiative seeks to create a global, multi-actor view of cybercrime, promoting quicker detection and mitigating cyber threats. ```https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/breach-roundup-global-signal-exchange-to-curb-online-fraud-a-26505
