PhishGuard |
PhishGuard is a FREE service that detects and rapidly disables
Internet "phishing" or "spoofing" attacks designed to steal critical
financial data.
Phishing attacks use fraudulent websites and emails that mimic
well-known organizations in order to trick unsuspecting Internet
users. A simple login or account number entry screen becomes a
sophisticated trap. By assuming you are dealing with a trusted
party, you can reveal financial information including credit card
numbers, bank accounts, passwords, and social security numbers to
the "bad guys". This type of attack is very difficult for the
typical person to detect, as the scammer’s emails and websites mimic
the exact style and graphics of the spoofed company, and appear
genuine. Sensitive financial information disclosed to scammers is
used to make fraudulent financial transactions and to enable
long-term identity theft. |
