The Tel Aviv anti-hacking app advertised for years after its maker said it was shutting down.
A Tel Aviv account-security app whose chief executive confirmed to CTech in January 2019 that the company was shutting down, while getlogdog.com went on advertising the app until at least 2023.
"DON'T GET HACKED. GET LOGDOG." ran the headline on LogDog's Stompstart listing, saved in August 2019. The Tel Aviv app, tagged for Android and internet security, offered "free protection from hackers and identity theft," sending alerts when suspicious activity turned up in Gmail, Facebook and other accounts. The listing called it a mobile security "watch dog."
On 16 July 2015 the Times of Israel reported that LogDog had raised $3.5 million in a Series A round led by BRM Group, naming Uri Brison as founder and chief executive and Omri Toppol as a co-founder. The app watched logins across Twitter, Facebook, Dropbox, Gmail, Evernote and Yahoo; it would warn a user who opened Facebook from an Israeli IP address and Twitter from an American one a few minutes later.
On 15 January 2019, CTech reported that LogDog Information Security Ltd. was shutting down after its acquisition negotiations fell through, which Brison confirmed in a phone interview. Its nine employees had been summoned to a pre-termination hearing. CTech said the company was founded in 2013 by Brison and Shlomi Cohen, a different co-founder from the one the Times of Israel had named.
The website carried on. In February 2019, getlogdog.com still offered the app on Google Play and the App Store and invited visitors to "Join 750,000+ people who secured their accounts with LogDog." By June 2021 the top of the page said 2.5 million, while a line further down still said 750,000. A redesigned page in July 2023 listed ten protected services, adding Outlook, Instagram, Slack and LinkedIn, under a "2021 - LogDog" copyright. By June 2025 the page was titled as a Thai online slots site, with the old LogDog text beneath the new heading.
On 29 September 2026, getlogdog.com served an Australian online casino guide that did not mention LogDog. The Google Play and App Store listings the old site linked to both returned "not found."
