New Firefox 3 Feature Makes it Easier to Spot Phishing

Thursday, July 12th, 2007 (No comments yet)
The Firefox team has decided to include a user-written plugin into the standard release of Firefox 3. This plugin highlights the domain name making it easier for normal users to see and understand what site they’re actually on versus what they think they’re on. For example, most people think that just because the url says yourbank.com anywhere means that’s the site they’re on. The reality is that it must be in this format: http://[anything at all].yourbank.com/[anything else] to be valid. Any other arrangment is a phishing attack: http://yourbank.loans.com http://12.293.28.18/yourbank.com etc. This plugin will make it easier to spot by highlighting the valid part of the URL which is the domain (which is easily confused by less techie users who don’t understand that the domain section of the URL is backwards).Tags: ,
