A Better Anti-Phishing Toolbar? 33
Saqib Ali asks: "There have been recent discussions on Security Focus mailing lists about several Anti Phishing Toolbars available for Firefox. Do Slashdot readers have any recommendations on which Anti Phishing toolbar to use, or on how to improve upon the existing ones?"

If you're smart enough to install this kind of solution then you're not going to fall for the phishing attempts in the first place. Email from paypal/ebay/your bank that doesn't start with your name? Delete it. Get a plausible looking email asking you to click on a link and log in? Type the URL manually anyway (I use a local homepage which just contains a bunch of links to those accounts, Slashdot etc). Have an account somewhere that doesn't address you by your full name in emails? Close the account and use another bank.
By the same token, this stuff is obvious to everyone reading Slashdot. Right?
