The Fake-Shop Detector is a free browser extension designed to warn users about fraudulent online shops directly within their internet browsers. Compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and all Chromium-based browsers, it enhances your online shopping safety without collecting personal data.

It operates through a two-step verification process: initially checking visited websites against a curated database of known reputable and fraudulent stores, and if unknown, conducting a real-time Artificial Intelligence (AI) analysis. Users see the safety status via intuitive color-coded signals—red for high risk, yellow for uncertain, green for very low risk, and grey for non-store sites or inactive checks. Developed by ÖIAT, AIT, and X-NET, this extension aims to give internet scams no chance, ensuring a secure shopping experience.

90 MB wurden heute von api.fakeshop.at heruntergeladen, üblicherweise sind es jeden Tag 10 bis 20 MB. Warum so viel? Ich habe nun die Adresse blockiert, wenn ich im Mobilnetz bin.
