Windows Live Toolbar Phishing Filter
Microsoft's Phishing Filter is proving to be quite a success, thanks not only to all of the IE7 and MSN/Windows Live Toolbar users who are actively reporting phishing sites, but also thanks to data sharing between MS and third party data sources.
Recently MS have been adding up to 17,000 URLS a month to its Phishing Filter service. This figure is sure to continue to grow as more people use IE7 and MS adds new data provider partners.
From February to Mid Aug 2006 the Phishing Filter helped block over 800,000 instances of people trying to access reported phishing websites using IE7 or MSN/Windows Live Toolbar. This figure includes almost 500,000 blocks since IE7 Beta 2 was released.
