Today we're announcing a MobyMask light-client from @laconicnetwork! This will make it cheap and easy for anyone to host their own private anti-phishing list.
🐳MobyMask is a new initiative from our co-founder @danfinlay to help proactively protect users from phishing by using a dynamic web of trust for sourcing phishing reporters 🧵👇

I have some good news to share about the 🐳 MobyMask snap:
🔹 It has been audited by ConsenSys Diligence consensys.net/diligence/audi…
🔹 I have updated the README tutorial code to match the latest version github.com/Montoya/mobymask-…
🔹 The official name is "MobyMask Phishing Warning"
This guy gets it!
Love seeing examples of signed, off-chain messages being anchored on-chain.
@MobyMask will provide a web-of-trust strategy to allow users to rapidly report phishers on Twitter without paying Eth fees.
Well done mirror.xyz/0x55e2780588aa500…
We’ve got a couple improvements on mobymask.com: We now support reporting sites and ether addresses as well as Twitter accounts, and it’s now easy to add new types!

We’re thrilled to announce that Laconic and @ConsenSys's @MetaMask are launching @MobyMask Light Client, an anti-phishing tool created by @danfinlay.
Find out how Laconic is empowering MobyMask with lower cost, scalability, and provable data caching: bit.ly/3V19Dyv
Laconic will eventually enable these blockchain-rooted phishing reports to be made without any on-chain transaction, which will be key to letting the system scale to the needs of anti-phishing.

We've still got a good amount of product work to do, but this proves that some cutting-edge tech from Laconic can enable users to cache and trustlessly share select portions of the blockchain, which is critical for use cases like this one.

🔥 New Post: Announcing InAppBrowser - see what JavaScript commands get injected through an in-app browser
👀 TikTok, when opening any website in their app, injects tracking code that can monitor all keystrokes, including passwords, and all taps.

We are brewing some exciting next steps in anti phishing. Announcement in the next few weeks!
Yeah, so @MobyMask is what I chose as a first example. We’re still building out some of the infra needed for the counterfactual claims to enable free reports, but it already works for free invitations. That thread above lists quite a few other use cases.
One of the greatest phisher hunters of our time! Happy Birthday, Harry!
Everyone please join me in wishing @sniko_ the HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS!!!
He's done more for this industry than most and protects your ass without you even knowing it. He deserves the most.
