I got hammered with phishing attempts using brave today. My av was effective in stopping them but tread carefully and stay away from using brave for now if you can help it.

Can you confirm the phishing. Where you on mobile or desktop did they send email what was it?

I was on desktop. My av just kept telling me it blocked a phishing attempt over and over again. Like a hundred simultaneously. There was no email involved so Im not sure what happened other than the messages I was getting from the av.

Someone made a post about a Brave exploit yesterday, which I dismissed as there was no evidence. But, Im starting to lean towards it being true now. I have no reason to lie, FWIW

weak fud what extensions are you getting? What AV? Brave has a log in the files from past notifications that you can forward from the team. Post your AV logs as well

Even /g/ doesn't like brave:

Research and educate yourself on BAT & Brave browser before using their product!

>By August 2016, the company had received at least US$7 million in angel investments from venture capital firms, including Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, Propel Venture Partners, Pantera Capital, Foundation Capital, and the Digital Currency Group.
Here’s an archived version of Brave’s Wikipedia article in case that information disappears somehow See the section #Business model
https://web.archive.org/web/20200227000950/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)

Peter Thiel is the chairman of Palantir Technologies. Wikipedia describes Palantir Technologies like this:
https://web.archive.org/web/20200128121847/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palantir_Technologies
>Palantir Technologies is a private American software company that specializes in big data analytics. Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, it was founded by Peter Thiel, Nathan Gettings, Joe Lonsdale, Stephen Cohen, and Alex Karp.

Further along the Wikipedia article, some interesting stuff starts coming up
>The company is known for three projects in particular: Palantir Gotham, Palantir Metropolis and Palantir Foundry. Palantir Gotham is used by counter-terrorism analysts at offices in the United States Intelligence Community (USIC) and United States Department of Defense, fraud investigators at the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, and cyber analysts at Information Warfare Monitor, while Palantir Metropolis is used by hedge funds, banks, and financial services firms.
Which is really concerning. This is also in line with how Brave whitelists Facebook and Twitter tracking scripts while advertising itself as a privacy conscious browser. Behavior of this is like a honeypot.

Omg!
Like the fucking 100 maleware and phishing attempts I use to get daily with internet explorer?
Wow pleb MS is still going strong right? So I guess a browser exploit doesn’t really mean much???
