Crypto Crime Unit SEAL Launches Tool to Fight Phishing Scams

The Security Alliance (SEAL), a crypto crime investigation group, has launched a new tool designed to make phishing detection faster and more reliable. The system lets users verify suspicious websites exactly as victims would see them.

As phishing attacks become more deceptive, the organization deploys cryptographic verification methods to ensure trustworthy and verifiable reports.

SEAL’s Verifiable Phishing Reporter, officially unveiled on Monday, helps expose websites that serve fake “clean” versions to automated scanners. Moreover, SEAL’s new Verifiable Phishing Reporter uses a cryptographic protocol called TLS attestations, enabling ethical hackers to confirm that reported sites contain malicious content.

“We needed a way to see what the user was seeing,” SEAL said in its blog post announcing the launch.

The tool ensures that each phishing report contains verified session data, preventing attackers from falsifying content or misleading investigators by altering server responses.
