Abstract

As phishing attacks grow more targeted and convincing, TackleBox turns individual reports into a shared early warning system that helps communities recognize threats before they spread. TackleBox is a phishing reporting, tracking, and education platform built to protect the most vulnerable online, including seniors, students, and small business owners. Instead of facing scams alone, users submit real phishing attempts to a live community driven database that reveals emerging patterns and evolving tactics in real time. Crowdsourced intelligence transforms isolated incidents into collective defense, while sharing accessible education modules that translate cybersecurity into practical everyday knowledge. Built with Next.js, Node.js, Tailwind CSS, and powered by Supabase's PostgreSQL backend, TackleBox combines modern web performance with scalable, secure data management. By uniting real-time awareness with inclusive learning TackleBox aims to reduce the human cost of online fraud and strengthens digital confidence for everyone.
