Phishing Philter
In my meeting with Julian Bajkowski, one thing we spoke about was the introduction of a Phishing filter for IE7.
I didn't have all the answers to the Julian's questions on this, at the time.
I have subsequently found some info, such as a post from the IE7 team, as well these articles "Introducing Phishing Filter in IE" and "Anti-Phishing Whitepaper".
However, you don't need to wait for IE7 to experience this. There is an phishing filter add-in for the MSN Toolbar too. The UI is a bit different, but the technology is the same.
The Phishing Filter Add-in offers access to the beta version of a new dynamic online service, updated several times an hour to warn you and help protect your personal information from these fraudulent websites by:
- Scanning websites you visit and warning you if they are potentially suspicious.
- Dynamically checking the web sites you visit with up to the hour online information via an online service run by Microsoft and blocking you from sharing personal information if a site is a known phishing website.
