Learn to spot scams before they cost you.

"Site visits since launch" includes reported visits and automatically counted browser sessions. Reported totals are not independently verified, and the country distribution includes estimates. Visits are counted once per browser session where session storage is available, not as unique people or completed lessons. The estimates of scams and losses potentially avoided use two deliberately conservative, source-informed assumptions:

Avoidance rate — 3%. Microsoft's Digital Defense Report found that basic security-awareness training on its own, without ongoing reinforcement, reduces phishing susceptibility by only about 3% — so we use that low, conservative figure rather than a more optimistic one (source).

Potentially avoided loss — $500. The FBI's 2024 Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) report found an average reported loss of $19,372 per complaint overall, and $33,231 specifically for victims over 60 (source). Those averages are pulled way up by a relatively small number of very large-dollar cases — investment fraud, business email compromise — that a basic awareness course like this doesn't really address. So instead of using the full reported average, we use $500: a small, deliberately conservative stand-in for a typical loss from the more common scams this course covers, like phishing and tech-support scams.

Estimated scams potentially avoided = visits × 0.03, rounded for display. Estimated losses potentially avoided = visits × 0.03 × $500, calculated before rounding: for example, 4,826 visits gives 145 and $72,390. These assumptions illustrate possible impact; they do not measure this course's effectiveness or actual prevented cases or losses.
