MSN AntiPhishing Filter Add-InAround 2 weeks after Microsoft announced their plan to create antiphishing tools for MSN Search Toolbar, they finally released the new toolbar add-ins, Microsoft Phishing Filter Add-in.

The Phishing Filter Add-in will combine website heuristic (domain, IP, etc.) and aggregated customer-reported data to protect user from phishing scam attacks. User can report phishing sites that they discover to Microsoft, so it’ll be added to phishing sites list. User can also report misidentified phishing sites as well.

Phishing is an e-mail fraud where the perpetrator sends out legitimate-looking e-mails that appear to come from well known and trustworthy Web sites in an attempt to gather personal and financial information (credit card, SSN, etc) from the recipient. A phishing expedition, like the fishing expedition it’s named for, is a speculative venture: the phisher puts the lure hoping to fool at least a few of the prey that encounter the bait. Web sites that are frequently spoofed by phishers include PayPal, eBay, MSN, Yahoo, BestBuy, and America Online.

At the same time, Microsoft also released MSN Games Add-In for MSN Search Toolbar. This add-in gives you quick links to some of the more popular zone games. You can also take the opportunity to participate in the daily trivia quiz, directly from the add-in.
