Malwarebytes Brings Real-time Scam Detection and Threat Intelligence to AI Conversations with Claude Connector

Pioneering connector enables users to scam check links, phone numbers, emails and more, instantly within Claude

Malwarebytes, a global leader in online protection, announced Malwarebytes in Claude, a new, free connector for Anthropic’s AI assistant. The first-of-its-kind integration brings Malwarebytes’ powerful scam detection capabilities and threat intelligence directly into Claude conversations, helping users quickly identify phishing attempts, scam calls, suspicious social media messages and malicious links without leaving their chat.

Many of today’s most dangerous threats operate at a different level — manipulative language, deceptive intent, coordinated behavior patterns, and visual deception. AI, combined with deep threat intelligence expertise, gives Malwarebytes the ability to understand this manipulative language and context, opening up new scam protection and threat intel reasoning to spot hyper-realistic scams and threats. More than 19% of users of Malwarebytes Scam Guard avoided high risk scams, such as serious personal risk or losing $1,000 or more, proving tools and education can have an impact.

“The use of AI has opened up new areas for cybercriminals to target, and combined with manipulative language or images, no one is too smart to fall victim,” said Marcin Kleczynski, Founder and CEO, Malwarebytes. “We are tackling scams from every angle, helping people answer the question, ‘is this a scam’ and providing clear, easy-to-understand support on what to do next. By integrating Malwarebytes with Claude, we’re putting enterprise-grade threat and scam detection into the hands of anyone who needs it, right when — and where — they need it most, meeting people where they are to truly make an impact on scams.”

As cybercriminals increasingly target individuals through text messages, emails, social media and phone calls, the Malwarebytes connector for Claude provides a free, accessible first line of defense.
