The yellow security padlock in Web browsers, weakened by lax standards and loose supervision, will get reinforced next year with tougher requirements and browser updates.
Microsoft has quietly flipped the switch on a new feature in its Internet Explorer 7 Web browser meant to combat phishing (fraudulent Web site) scams.
RSA's Cyota division is helping fight phishing attacks by giving the online fraudsters what they want -- lots of user names, passwords, online banking credentials and credit card numbers.
Phishing could soon be a thing of the past and the credit may have to go to Microsoft. That's according to a leading Web security expert who says functionality built into Internet Explorer 7 could shutter fraudulent Web sites within 18 months.
Mozilla's Firefox 2 and Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 are vulnerable to a flaw that could allow attackers to steal passwords.
In the just-released Beta 2 version of Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft mirrors the look and feel of other browsers while adding a few unique features.
Bank robbers don't wield guns these days, the mouse and keyboard have, instead, become the weapons of choice. And they're coming right through your browser.
Software filters that are designed to block access to fraudulent Web sites are largely ineffective at protecting against new attacks, according to security experts.
Microsoft has changed the look and feel of its venerable browser while adding some much-needed security features.
