[Year 12 IPM] Netcraft Anti-Phishing Toolbar

[Mark Kelly]

Might be useful for security discussion, and protecting yourselves...

The Netcraft Anti-Phishing Toolbar consists of a user interface 
implemented as a toolbar for Firefox or IE.  It detects phishing sites 
and show risk assessment of sites being visited.   Assessments can be 
calculated on the fly for sites that Netcraft has never encountered 
before. Several factors are used to calculate the risk rating, including 
site longevity, hosting location and historical trends.

Also gives interesting information on sites you visit.
