Phishing Filter in IE7
IE7 will boast a Phishing Filter to fight back against the now-common threat of phishing. Rob Franco of the Microsoft team, says that “The Phishing Filter will be able to take you away from a reported phishing site but, even if a site hasn’t been reported yet, Internet Explorer will warn you about sites that might look ‘a little bit phishy’ because they use some features commonly used on phishing sites.”
Franco is asking for feedback from beta testers on how the filer performs. An announcement will be made on how to send feedback directly through the UI.
Phishing scams usually start with a bogus email that urges you to visit a fake banking site. After the victim enters their password, the site uses it to steal money from the victim’s account.
