Phishing Fighter

This is an interactive game for employees to learn how to detect phishing emails or other scam attempts. The player must discern emails as either a legitimate professional email or a phishing attempt.

Comment

Inspiration

Game development experience and frustration over receiving vague scam attempts.

What it does

It teaches the player to better identify phishing attempts via email.

How we built it

We used React and Vite as a base for our game. We used Firebase to store user scores and Gemini to generate the emails used in the game.

Challenges we ran into

Implementing the actually API for Gemini was confusing due to version conflicts. Merge conflicts were also frustrating to deal with.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We made good use of our time during Hackathon and finished relatively early.

What we learned

We learned how to implement an AI API into a codebase and how to implement google authenticator.

What's next for Phishing Fighter

Adding a leaderboard and possibly upgrading our AI model.
