Nifty Tool For Viewing Page Details and Phishing Risk
Came across this news item from Yahoo a cople of days ago - it's about an installable webtool for your ie or firefox web browsers from a company called Netcraft which allows you to view multiple items about a page you're on - and potentially help with avoiding phishing issues. From their site:"The toolbar runs on any operating system supported by Firefox and displays the hosting location, country, longevity, popularity, and an abstracted risk rating for each site visited."
Best part of the tool is that it devolves the host of the page you're on, and then you can click on some reports from this company to show it's risk rating, google, rank, and also a full site report regarding the shadiness of a website of webhost. They look like they want to sell this to institutions like banks and big companies. At best you get some nifty info about webpages and hosts that the average dude (like me) could not find right away.
