How do you stop ICO heists? With machine learning and a lot of common sense

Paul Walsh is the founder of MetaCert, a company that started out trying to stop fake news and suddenly discovered that its software was able to ensure that token sales were safe and secure. By ensuring that any link that appears in a Slack chat room is real. This has, at least for some ICOs, kept millions of dollars worth of tokens safe. Let’s see how he does it.

Excerpt:

Of the $225 million already stolen by crypto criminals in 2017, $115 million was via phishing. That makes phishing the number one problem within the cryptocurrency world. And almost all crypto communities are built inside Slack. So, that makes slack the number one attack vector for phishing scams. MetaCert is the only company with products designed for this specific problem. We are currently laser focused on helping crypto companies and their investors stay more safe by reducing the risk of them falling for a scam.

Token launches and ICOs are our ideal customer and it takes less than 7 seconds for them to install our software at slacksecurity.metacert.com

Of course, other companies that care about security should also install our integration for Slack and HipChat?—?especially if they have regulatory compliance to consider.
