Anti-phishing toolkit

Abstract

Phishing is the process by which a malicious internet user (the phisher) steals personal information of other internet users, usually by impersonating a trusted entity. With the number of phishing threats increasing steadily, organisations are turning on to security applications to provide them and their customers with anti-phishing systems. This document presents the anti-phishing toolkit as a solution to the phishing problem. The toolkit provides internet users with a toolbar-application that protects them against phishing scams and a set of tools that can be used by web site developers to protect their user accounts.
