    I'm shocked by people and state using the crutch of cyber crime or scams to push a totalitarian solution to a problem that is better solved by improved education and targeted campaigns against common security pitfalls.

    I abhor any decision that robs even a grain of my individual freedom.

    Sounds so authoritarian. Luckily, in the UK you only have to scan your face and ID to access cat photos.

    I might be reading this wrong but these numbers seem very weird. Did more than half the people who downloaded the app block a stolen phone? And did each person who downloaded the app terminate 6 fraudulent connections?
