Microsoft Enhances Phishing Protection for Windows, MSN and Microsoft Windows Live Customers
Cyota Inc., Internet Identity and MarkMonitor will provide phishing Web site data for Microsoft Phishing Filter and SmartScreen Technology services. The companies will help to improve the protection offered by Microsoft® Phishing Filter and Microsoft SmartScreen™ Technology.
Phishing is a fast-growing class of online fraud and identity theft, often uses fake Web sites that resemble those of legitimate businesses, financial institutions or other trusted organizations to trick victims into disclosing sensitive personal and financial information that can then be used for criminal activity. Phishing sites can often last as little as a few hours or a few days before they are shut down, making real-time browser protection critical to help effectively safeguard users.
