Polycred ensures a secure & reliable experience for the world's 3.8 billion email account users

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Dec. 10, 2021 - PRLog -- Polycred, a web extension that generates email aliases, began operations earlier this year with the main objective to address these growing concerns and protect the 3.8 billion email accounts that are currently in use. Patrick O'Brien and Aaron Lefkowitz, both software developers with over 25 years of experience, originally established the company in order to protect email account users from possible cyber attacks. In the wake of increasing threats online, Polycred's focus on the issue of privacy and security also helps combat spam emails that mailbox owners are all too familiar with.

Cybercrime is proving to be very costly for the global economy, with damages at approximately $600 billion and a bleak outlook for the future. Furthermore, the increase in online banking services and cryptocurrency investments has concurrently led to an increase in phishing attacks and ransomware. Hackers often use emails to steal a user's financial information or gain access to their computer and steal company data. By allowing users to create their email aliases, Polycred enables them to protect their emails, thus securing their systems from such breaches.

Our email accounts store some of the most important information about our digital selves. Moreover, a lot of our financial data and electronic transactions are often recorded/ linked to our email accounts, and cyber criminals commonly leverage such available knowledge to carry out their schemes. Whether for fraud, scams, or identity theft, our emails themselves hold valuable information that hackers can misuse. Polycred endeavors to secure this knowledge by limiting the number of people/ entities we share this with.

Hackers can gain access to our accounts by getting ahold of our personally identifiable information, which includes our email accounts. In a time when signing up for any online service almost always requires sharing our emails, having an email alias adds a buffer to secure our online identities from malicious attacks. By doing so, Polycred helps protect our accounts from being targeted and breached or worse, our identities being stolen as a result of a data leak.

Polycred's offering is accessible to all, and its use is not restricted to a certain platform or operating system. Both versions of Polycred are available on their website.
