How it works

Clever on your phone. Blind on our servers.

CyberHasp does its checking on your phone, so your messages, photos and contacts never reach us. Here's what happens, step by step.

Checking a message

Four quick checks, one clear answer

Most messages are settled in the first check. Only the tricky few reach the small AI model, which keeps your battery happy.

01 · INSTANT

Message arrives

An SMS, WhatsApp link, UPI request or call reaches the phone.

02 · UNDER 1 MS

Quick list

Is it from your bank's real sender? Is the number or link on the scam list?

03 · A FEW MS

India scam rules

Rush + money + link, fake KYC, UPI collect requests, "digital arrest" words.

04 · UNDER 0.3 S

Small AI, on the phone

For unclear messages in Hindi, Hinglish, English and regional languages.

Digital-arrest scam. Hang up.Checked on your phone
Every warning says why

No vague "threat detected"

CyberHasp names the trick, like "asks you to pay, not receive", so you learn to spot it yourself.

Got a real bank SMS flagged?

Tap "This was wrong". That sender is trusted on your phone at once, and the fix reaches everyone within 24 hours.

The scam list

Updated every hour, from sources you can trust

A small file on your phone holds known scam numbers, links, UPI IDs and apps. It updates in the background using only a few KB a day, and every update is signed so nobody can tamper with it.

Chakshu

Fraud reports from the Department of Telecom's Sanchar Saathi.

cybercrime.gov.in

India's national cybercrime reporting portal.

RBI lending-app list

Registered digital lenders, to spot fake loan apps.

Your privacy

What stays on your phone, and what doesn't

Stays on your phone

  • Your messages and chats
  • Photos and videos
  • Contacts and call logs
  • Websites you visit
  • Your fingerprint or face

Leaves, and only in this form

  • A scrambled fingerprint of a link or number, to check the scam list
  • Family alerts, locked so only your family's phones can read them
  • Your phone number, to sign in
  • Payment records, for GST invoices

Location

Deleted after 7 days.

Alert history

Deleted after 30 days.

Intruder photos

Deleted after 30 days, or sooner if you choose.

Our servers are in Mumbai, and your data stays in India. Private screens like the family map block screenshots and ask for your fingerprint or face. Read the Privacy Policy →

Lost phone

If someone takes your phone

Wrong PIN

After 2 wrong tries, or if the SIM is swapped, CyberHasp wakes up.

3 quiet photos

The front camera snaps whoever is holding it, with location and SIM details.

You're alerted

By WhatsApp, Telegram, email, SMS link or on a family member's phone.

You act

Ring, lock, show a "call me" message, or use the theft kit to block it on CEIR.

Intruder photos and SIM alerts are Android-only. On iPhone, CyberHasp guides you to Apple's Find My.
