Scammers can now clone a voice from a few seconds of audio, and write a thousand versions of the same text before breakfast. The message that reaches your mom won't look like a scam. It will sound like you. LanternPhish prepares your family for that moment — so it isn't the first time they've seen it. WHY FILTERS AREN'T ENOUGH ANYMORE Spam filters and bank fraud alerts catch what they've already seen. AI lets a scammer generate endless new versions that nothing has seen before — so the share that slips through keeps growing. And every scam ends the same way: a person decides to tap the link, enter the password, or send the money. That decision can't be automated away, because that decision is the whole point of the attack. So the only defense that keeps up is a person who has practiced. A filter fails against a scam it doesn't recognize. A trained instinct doesn't. HOW IT WORKS You add the people you want to protect — your kids, your spouse, your aging parents. LanternPhish sends them safe, realistic scam texts and emails written by cybersecurity professionals. Nothing harmful is ever sent, and no real details are ever collected. When they click, they get instant, friendly feedback explaining exactly what they missed and how to catch it next time. When they don't click, that counts too. You see a simple report of who's getting sharper and who needs more practice. It's the same training Fortune 500 security teams run on their staff, rebuilt for families. WHO IT'S FOR • Adult children who worry about a parent falling for a scam • Parents who want their kids to handle the internet safely • Anyone who's ever clicked something they shouldn't have • Schools, youth groups, and community organizations WHAT'S INCLUDED • Realistic scam text and email simulations, including the AI-era ones • Age-appropriate scenarios for children, teens, adults and seniors • Instant, plain-English feedback after every test • A family safety score and per-person progress reports • Short lessons on the scams doing the most damage right now • Safe for ages 8+ PLANS • Free: 1 family member, email simulations, 7-day premium trial • Family ($12.99/month or $99.99/year): unlimited members, email + text simulations, full reports • Cancel anytime, no questions asked WHY PRACTICE, NOT WARNINGS Everyone already knows scams exist. Knowing is not the same as catching one while you're distracted, in a hurry, and it appears to come from your bank. That gap is why security teams stopped relying on annual training videos and switched to short, repeated, realistic practice with immediate feedback. It's the difference between being told about a scam and having already seen one just like it. LanternPhish brings that approach home. WHY IT MATTERS NOW Americans reported more than $16.6 billion in losses to internet crime in 2024 (FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center), and people over 60 lost more than any other age group. Scammers target older adults deliberately — grandparent calls, tech support, romance. AI has made all of it cheaper and far more convincing. You can try to monitor everything your family does online. Or you can teach them to recognize the trick and walk away on their own. LanternPhish does the second one. --- LanternPhish is built by a family of two, for families like yours. We don't sell your data, we don't show ads, and we never share simulation results with anyone outside your account.
