Kaspersky Lab anti-phishing module.
Kaspersky Lab have announced that anti-phishing databases provided
by the PhishTank service have been incorporated into the Anti-Phishing
module of Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0. The PhishTank service, nm by
OpenDNS, offers a consolidated database of known phishing websites which
is continually updated by the Open Source community and ordinary users.
Kaspersky has been a participant of this project for a long time,
submitting information about phishing resources to the PhishTank
database. Until now, the principal source of anti-phishing data used in
Kaspersky Lab products included databases provided by the Anti-Phishing
Working Group, of which Kaspersky is a member. Products also use data
from other sources including security services of financial
organizations which independently track phishing resources. With the
addition of the PhishTank databases, the range of anti-phishing data
sources has become even broader. This will help to improve the quality
of protection from phishing attacks offered to users.
