LogDog, a leader in guarding users’ online accounts from hacking, gained a lot of buzz and attention when it launched on Android. Now it's also available to iOS users as well.

Bummer that it always tracks your location. Deal breaker. Option to track while using and I'm in.

Hi @lindelof, LogDog keeps location data logs in order to make sure your account is not accessed from somewhere you are not likely to be. Since all data is anonymized before being sent to our server (from the user's device) there is virtually no way to link the location log to you personally. If you were to peek inside our servers you would see that all log data is linked to random ID strings we use to identify accounts and not to any personally identifiable information. We take your privacy very seriously.

I like the idea of an end-user IDS. @ubrison 1) How do you protect LogDog from a breach? How is our sensitive data secured? 2) Can you explain your team's background and experience in cyber/information security? Why should we trust you?
Uri Brison
Hi @janahrend, 1. Our system was designed with security in mind and we make sure all our servers are hardened, updated regularly and protected. Having said that, please note that we never keep any passwords - these remain in your device and only there. We only access data (i.e. activity logs) that we need in order to keep your account secure. Our privacy policy is up on the site and we take it very seriously - our reputation depends on it. 2. Our dev team are top coders who have worked together for years in various security related and non-security related projects. Our CMO has a CS degree and I myself was a developer for many years. I started the company after my wife's email account was hacked and we all genuinely want to help people avoid having to go through this. Over the past year or so we have had a lot of reporters come over to our offices to take a look around so there is plenty of info you can Google to learn more about us and decide whether you trust us.
Jan Ahrend
@ubrison Thank you. 1) It wasn't clear to me that you are only locally storing account credentials. 2) I'm curious, why do you choose not to be more transparent about your team and where you are located? I cannot find any information on your website, including the TOS and privacy policy. The US phone number on your website and a whois lookup made me think US.
Uri Brison
@janahrend, Our offices are located in Tel Aviv, Israel. We will be putting up bio pages to the website real soon. Here is a link to a local newspaper article about us that has a picture of the founding team. (It's in Hebrew). http://www.yediot.co.il/articles...
Jan Ahrend
@ubrison Awesome! Looking forward to the bio pages! :) Do you have any other consumer defence applications planned in the future?
Uri Brison
@janahrend Yep. Interesting stuff coming soon. Stay tuned.

Awesome product, as I have an Android phone, I've been using it for over a year and I was saved from being hacked more than one time. Great hunt!

"With LogDog, you can take control of your account before it gets hacked." - how can LogDog prevent a breach? Isn't it more about knowing asap when it happened? Also, how does LogDog preventing that internal Intrusion Detection Systems categorizing itself as attacker?
Uri Brison
Hi @llabball. Knowing there is unauthorized activity in your account as soon as possible is the key to taking back control and preventing hackers from stealing information. Bear in mind that most hacks today are "silent hacks" where the user only knows something was stolen weeks or months later when they are suddenly asked to return a loan they never took out... or something similar. Knowing there is access to the account allows you to take action before sensitive information is found and stolen.

Hi PH, I’m Uri, CEO and co-founder of LogDog. Thanks to Ayelet for hunting us! Very excited to have our first iOS version published and hope you use it to protect your private information! If you have any questions - I'll be happy to answer them here. The story of LogDog began when my wife’s email was hacked. It was a terrible experience, and it got me thinking that there has to be a way to better protect personal information online. The fact is that 1 in 4 online accounts are hacked. This is an incredible number – we’re losing the war to hackers. LogDog was designed to be your online account watchdog. It keeps an eye on your Google, Facebook, and Dropbox accounts (more coming soon) and lets you know right away if something suspicious is happening.
Uri Brison
@itsruback - Thanks!

Hey, just gave this a try - very nice! Thanks for sharing. I did the free email scan on your website, too. Definitely saw some stuff I had no idea was there. That said, the social security and bank account numbers were a little less accurate. Is there a way to 'dismiss' such inaccuracies?
Uri Brison
Hi @andym_dc, LogDog Detective is a tool we put up on our site to help people find what they actually have in their email accounts. You won't believe the things that people find (ever scan some ID and email it to someone? - it's there in your Sent folder) You can skip over the items that are less relevant but make sure to delete private emails that can prove valuable to hackers if your account is ever compromised. Also use the "Tell" button to make sure the sender/recipient deleted your privet information as well. And most important - install LogDog so you'll get an alert if anyone tries to breach your account.

Love this product!

Groundbreaking app! A must to all iphone (and android) users!
Philip Kushmaro
This Product sucks, In opposite world!!! Saved my ass a few times... iphone users wake up this is a lifesaver!
Philip Kushmaro
One thing though.. I have been with Logdog for a while it's awesome as mentioned before but will there be an option to add multiple channels?
Uri Brison
Hi @philipkushmaro, If you mean that you want to protect multiple accounts of the same kind (have more than one Gmail account?) then - yes, it's coming soon. We had a lot of users request this feature so we developed multi account support and will be releasing it in the next version.

Great news for all the iOS users! I Installed it a few months back and so far I find it very useful.
