They're not just one application.
No, but it's not just the virus.
Scams have become an important component of cybercrime.
As I told you, it's one ninth of the total losses caused by technology in the world.
So at this point, Bitdefender also handles these anti-scamming aspects in various ways.
We have security solutions that automatically detect
that a specific message is a form of scam.
We have advisors where people can describe what they're seeing or taking screenshots or taking a picture of something and feeding it to an AI assistant asking, hey, is there anything dangerous here if I'm venturing into what's described here?
And the AI will look at the situation, assess the likelihood of that being a scam and teach the user that
there are a couple of red flags there that probably lead to a scap.
So Bitdefender, what we do is what we've always done, keep users and companies safe, but now with a lot more technology and attack surface to defend.
You know that Romania is on the eastern NATO flank.
It's on the eastern part of the European Union as well.
And as of a couple of years ago, we've had a war at the border.
There's Ukraine versus Russia.
Ukrainians are our neighbors.
And as they were in the middle of the fight, a deepfake of President Zelensky erupted on the internet, calling for every armed person to lay down their weapon because Ukraine had surrendered.
That was a deepfake, and it was quickly combated by Ukrainian security services.
But this could have had awful consequences.
consequences, right?
