The Global Signal Exchange (GSE) is an initiative launched in October 2024 through a collaboration between Google, the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA), and the DNS Research Federation (DNSRF). This platform aims to serve as a centralised clearinghouse for data on online scams and fraudulent activities, enhancing the sharing of abuse signals to facilitate faster identification and disruption of such threats across various sectors and services.
