Busy.org v.2.4 has been released.
For those that don't know. Busy.org is another front end (besides steemit.com) to access the steem blockchain.
It's full of new and awesome features.
You can read about all of them here.
My personal favorites: Notifications on the website.
Check them out:
Notifications help you keep track of what's happening on your blog and it makes for a way more interactive experience on the blockchain.
Fight against Phishing
User @anyx build a new tool to help us against phishing attacks.
It's called Guard here.
From the post:
@guard instead searches for the phishing links themselves, and presents a warning any time one is detected. Despite attackers attempts to hide phishing links (such as with link shorteners), @guard will still catch them.
This is what the warning looks like:
I talk about it more in my vlog.
I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.
We build Steemify a notification app for your Steemit account for iOS.

Yesterday I was reading about Busy on steemit and I was like yeah it has one cool feature and the front end is different so you know you can have a change while using steemit.
Yes, we will have to be careful about the hacking attempts. I know someone who's account got stollen but then he registered the complain and got his account back, though he lost his SBD's.

I have been using busy.org for awhile now and It has been a first class experience. The introduction of @guard is a great feature to fight phishing,my question though is how do we incorporate it with our accounts.I found no mention of it on their post.

Hmm. I've always been extremely critical of the Steemit UI. And I was critical of Busy, too.
But I must admit that Busy took a step forward.
I'm Finnish, though, so I can't be too positive and complimentary here. But let's just say that it could be worse, hah.
Let's see if I switch to Busy full time.

Thank you, I will ,
I was just curious as to what happened to it,

It might be small, but sure helps with the visability factor, thank you very much,
Will test later on and post my findings back here🤗

I didn't get any boosts for ages either @cryptocat. In fact I stopped using the tag. But after the update I tried again and, hey presto, I got a boost! 😁 Hoorah!

There's a little issue with the @guard approach. I recently had an encounter when I tried to warn a new user about this phishing links but instead my comment was flagged and considered as a scam. Even after anyx noticed that the flagging was in error, nothing was done to remove the downvotes. I made some suggestions about it in a post and hope the owners of these bot gets to read it and implement them.

How come? Did you warn the new user because he uses phishing links, or just to remind him to stay away from phishing links? Maybe he was the one who flagged you. In that case, it shouldn't matter.

It was a mistake on my part as I use posted the warning with the website, the bot is not configured to separate warnings from real threat.

I saw @anyx post yesterday about the phising guard, absolutely it's amazing, I mean these phising scammers have devised a whole new method of cheating people, just like building a scam site that looks like the one we use everyday.
I guess people needs to really see the post and see how this guard can be enabled,
You've done a Fantastic job if crowdsourcing it.

I'm been using busy.org for majority of my posts now. I also noticed that they have a notifications icon. There I can see who followed and comments on my post.
This is my favorite platform so far. ^^

I use the busy.org notifications all the time @exyle and I much prefer that you can play the videos and dlive without leaving busy.
I didn't know busy.org made steemconnect. Are they a witness? I'll need to check them out.
Thanks for the info on @anyx. I will check them out for a witness vote. I'm a big fan of steemcleaners and guard sounds really vital too. I've noticed guard a few times on posts so it's obviously working well.
Hope you're having a fun day! 😊

That could be awesome. This phishing issue is becoming worse and worse. I hope steemit solves this issue soon otherwise I’m not clicking any link in coment section. There is actually few I saw recently, some steemiens try to warn few minutes after they comment, but there is still those few minutes when someone can click on it and than his account gets hacked. I’m using Steemify app for notifications on my iOS, but busy.org is a great tool for notifications on PC. Here is one of many:

I use busy.org most of the time over steemit. It has way more features and is more user friendly. Steemit looks outdated and doesn't look as clean as busy.
I was thinking about making a browser addon that notifies you when you are leaving the site in order to combat phishing attempts. It could just say "You are being redirected to [scam URL].com. Click OK or Cancel." I think that could help too but I am not a programmer so I don't know how to make it lol.

I used busy.org intermittently, initially for the upvotes but moving forward I have come to love almost everything about it especially the notification bar.
Two days ago I saw a mention in my notifications on busy.org and here is what I saw
A scammer had made a phishing link with one of my recent posts. @neoxian and @stellabelle have also made posts with regards to this phishing scammers.
Something needs to be done about this menace sooner rather than later.
