The story behind askBoris — why we built it, how it works, and where we're going.
Seven layers of protection — from your input to clear advice.
Phishing and online fraud are exploding. Every day in the Benelux, thousands of people — young and old — lose money, data and peace of mind. Behind every successful scam there is a real person: someone who feels ashamed, betrayed, sometimes financially ruined, and almost always traumatised. We've seen it up close. Boris exists to stop that next victim before they click, pay or share.
Boris is an AI platform trained on more than 2,500 known phishing and fraud mechanics. He learns every single day from new submissions, and combines automated AI analysis with human-in-the-loop review so the knowledge base keeps sharpening over time.
We're looking for a bigger, stronger footprint so we can deliver a structural answer to phishing — together with governments, banks, key players, insurers, law enforcement and, most importantly, the victims themselves. Boris is just at the beginning. As we grow, we will roll out significantly more tools to advise victims and potential victims faster and better.
Boris never stores your passwords. Suspicious patterns are anonymised and added to a shared threat database so the community benefits, but your personal data stays yours. You can delete your history at any time.
Boris is a website, an app on your phone, an email address you forward suspicious messages to — and soon a WhatsApp number too. One service, always within reach the moment you doubt something.
Go to askboris.ai and paste, drop or upload anything suspicious. No install, no account needed to start.
Install Boris as an app on your phone or desktop (PWA) from the menu — it sits next to your other apps, one tap away.
Simply forward a suspicious email to your personal Boris address. You get an instant confirmation and the full analysis in your inbox shortly after.
Forward suspicious messages, screenshots or links to the Boris number and get your verdict right in the chat.
Boris is an initiative of underdogdesign — a digital agency that has, for years, volunteered to help victims of online fraud. We turned that hands-on experience into a tool everyone can use, regardless of age or tech skill.
