Malwarebytes has launched an integration, enabling its threat intelligence to be applied within the AI ecosystem by offering a free connector for Anthropic’s Claude. With the aid of Malwarebytes’ connector, users will be able to detect scamming activities and examine suspicious content right in the conversation box without leaving the AI chat.
Thanks to the connector, a user is able to quickly validate a link, phone number, email address, or domain, making sure that any phishing or other scamming attempts do not occur. The combination of AI technologies and Malwarebytes’ vast knowledge base enables the software to check not only technical but also contextual aspects related to scams (including manipulative speech patterns).
Such an innovation is quite understandable in today’s environment when scams do not necessarily contain obvious mistakes, relying rather on very convincing messaging. Indeed, according to Malwarebytes, around 19 percent of users of the company’s Scam Guard have already managed to avoid high-risk scams with the help of this tool.

“The use of AI has opened up new areas for cybercriminals to target, and combined with manipulative language or images, no one is too smart to fall victim,” said Marcin Kleczynski, Founder and CEO, Malwarebytes. “We are tackling scams from every angle, helping people answer the question, ‘is this a scam’ and providing clear, easy-to-understand support on what to do next. By integrating Malwarebytes with Claude, we’re putting enterprise-grade threat and scam detection into the hands of anyone who needs it, right when and where they need it most, meeting people where they are to truly make an impact on scams.”
This connection provides verdicts that are very clear, which include “Malicious,” “Potentially Malicious,” “Unknown,” and “Safe.” This connector will provide some explanation along with the verdicts. Another important feature is that this connector enables multi-threat analysis, which means that it can analyze images along with text within one query.
As cyber threats increasingly target individuals through messaging platforms and social media, Malwarebytes’ integration positions AI assistants as a frontline defense, making advanced security tools more accessible to everyday users.
