Eight Tech Giants Team Up to Fight Scammers Together
Google, Amazon, OpenAI, and five other major companies pledge to share threat intelligence on platform abuse.
Eight of the biggest names in tech just agreed to actually talk to each other — about scammers, at least.
Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Meta, Amazon, OpenAI, Adobe, and Match have signed a voluntary pledge to share threat intelligence focused on bad actors abusing their platforms. The goal: make it harder for scammers to hop between services undetected.
The agreement means these companies will swap information about emerging fraud tactics and the people behind them. It's voluntary, not legally binding, but the roster of signatories carries serious weight across search, social media, AI, e-commerce, cloud, and online dating.
Cross-platform scam operations have exploded in recent years, and siloed defenses haven't cut it. Sharing intel across company lines could close gaps that fraudsters currently exploit with ease.
Whether a voluntary pledge translates to meaningful action remains the real test.
