Chrome Enhanced Protection uses Gemini AI to block new terminal scams

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Google is enhancing Chrome's Enhanced Protection with new AI-powered features to combat evolving online scams. The browser will now use server-side Gemini models to analyze page intent and detect deceptive content, providing tiered warnings for suspicious versus dangerous sites. Additionally, Chrome will inspect clipboard activity to prevent "ClickFix" terminal scams where users are tricked into pasting malicious code into their command prompt. AI

IMPACT Enhances user security by leveraging AI to detect and block sophisticated social engineering and terminal-based scams.
