Field notes
The homepage combines a dated article feed with practical safety infrastructure. Its six-checkbox test covers urgency, unfamiliar links or numbers, requests for codes or bank details, unusual senders, isolation tactics, and remote-access requests, then gives a deliberately limited interpretation. The reporting section distinguishes 17 Cyber, Pharos, THESEE, and 33700, and explicitly separates a signalement from a complaint and an urgent call to the bank.
