When Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7 launched last year, both of them included anti-phishing technologies designed to block (or at least warn users away from) suspected phishing web sites and attacks. Partly as a result of this activity, phishers have stepped up attacks that rely on social engineering rather than relying strictly on approaches that use technology to steal data. From social networking sites to online games, phishers have continued to hunt for targets. A new security approach in Firefox 3 Alpha 7 aims to stop some of these attacks, but its value still depends on the end users' knowledge of how the 'Net is structured.
