F-Secure Launches Victim-First Scam Encyclopedia Covering 50+ Types of Consumer Fraud

Cybersecurity firm F-Secure has introduced a comprehensive new resource, the Scam Encyclopedia, designed to help consumers identify and avoid various forms of online fraud. Drawing on decades of threat intelligence research, the platform provides detailed explanations for over 50 distinct types of scams. Unlike traditional technical reports, this encyclopedia is built from a victim-first perspective, focusing on how these threats manifest in everyday life and the psychological tactics used by cybercriminals. By tracking emerging forms of cybercrime, the resource aims to empower users with the knowledge necessary to protect themselves in an increasingly complex digital landscape. The launch reflects a growing industry trend toward prioritizing consumer education as a primary defense mechanism against social engineering and phishing attacks. The encyclopedia is now publicly available, offering a centralized hub for users to stay informed about the latest deceptive practices targeting individuals globally.
