Mozilla "Suspected Web Forgery" alert Posted by turrbo [Email] (#8) [Profile/Gallery] (more from turrbo) on Tue, 23 Jan 2007 19:26:26 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I received a classic phishing email claiming to be from Bank of America. I knew it was a phishing email (my spam filter caught it too), but I wanted to see what the webpage it would take me too would look like. So I opened the link (generally the link itself in a phishing email is not a link to a virus), and the site came up. Very nice and official looking, BTW. Within a few seconds, the page grayed out and a little pop up box came out of the address bar warning that the page is fraudulent!
Very nice little feature that I never knew FF had. It's great for those who wouldn't recognize a phishing scam.
That's all, just another shameless plug for Firefox! :)
