In Firefox 2, Mozilla adopts an important safety feature that Microsoft first added to IE 7, a phishing filter called Phishing Protection cons that helps protect against malicious Web sites that masquerade as banks, online stores sites and other financial data can be stored. Unlike IE 7, Firefox?? S Phishing Filter is enabled by default, which is obviously a good idea. Thereâ?? S one problem: ISNA Firefox Phishing Protection feature?? T very sophisticated. It uses a blacklist of known dangerous sites, which na?? T effective protection against modern electronic attacks that rely on social engineering and technical vulnerabilities in the underlying commodities youâ?? Again in line for help. What you need is something that can adapt to threats and update automatically.
On the other hand, Firefox lets you enable Google?? S Phishing Filter, which is more efficient because it is regularly updated and offers more advanced features. On the negative side, the conditions of service for Google?? S Phishing Filter, literally, means that Google has violated their privacy when using this product: â?? Google records your actions and the URL of the page [visit], â?? Read the agreement. â?? It is possible that the URL sent to Google may itself contain personal information?? Page (Figure). Hey, we all trust Google right? And can you imagine the uproar that would occur if Microsoft did something even remotely this anti-privacy? Meanwhile?? O Google?? Hasna S Phishing Filter?? T caused no concern. Unbelievable.
In previous versions of Firefox, I used Netcraft?? S toolbar to help protect against phishing attacks. And though I knew that Firefox now offers two integrated solutions in the fight against identity theft, and it is not particularly good and is not as good as what Microsoft offered in IE 7. Asa??? It’s a shame.
Furthermore, Mozilla initially responded to the news that their solution was ineffective by publishing a paper on its website that tries to show that Firefox protection against phishing is actually more efficient than IE 7? ?? S Phishing Filter. However, a third study?? Commissioned by Microsoft?? It was reported that this was not true. Then Whoa?? Bill S? Liena?? S I know it’s true: Blacklists are not effective and Google admits probably collect your personal information. Neither seems very good for me.
However, since the publication of this notice, Mozilla contacted me and told me that their blacklist is updated?? Periodically, a?? which is much more often than previously thought. With phishing, you need protection that is updated regularly, so it is less acceptable.
