Welcome the next revolutionary feature in Mozilla Firefox 2.0- in built anti phishing feature!!!
Millions of people use the internet for a variety of purposes. Some look for some interesting articles on web sites , some listen and download music and videos, and people do serious research for their studies and some just surf the internet for the fun of it. While there are some people who use the internet for gathering information, most people use the internet to do their financial transactions like banking and shopping on the internet at sites like Amazon.com and E bay.
The arrival of the internet has made banking such an easy affair. There was no need to physically go to the bank and wait in long queues to make financial transactions or update the accounts etc. Everything became so simple. People could just log on to the web site of their bank and do all their financial transactions like transfer of funds, view their accounts statement, etc. It became very easy for people who were interested to trade on the stock markets do buy or sell the shares sitting from home using their computers.
As the number of people who started using the internet for their financial transactions increased so also the financial threats began to creep in. End users of the internet became perturbed about the financial threats while they were browsing. It became a big hassle for the users as security alerts were totally lacking and people could hardly distinguish between a fraud site and a real one. This ended up with many innocent people giving away their personal details including that of their financial transactions like bank account number, password etc. Because of this many people became weary of using the net for their financial transactions and this resulted in unhappy web browsing experience. This made the developers and computer experts at Mozilla fire fox put on their thinking caps. The result of this was the birth of advanced Anti-Phishing Protection feature by this group of community developers in the Mozilla fire fox 2.0. This instantly became a huge hit to all web users using Mozilla fire fox as their web browsing software application.
A single click ensures the safety of the web site visited for anyone who has installed this extension on their web browser. Phishing, Spear Phishing spam and other social engineering attacks were indicated to the end user. The anti-phishing feature enabled the end user to protect himself against all web sites that were a forgery but pretended to be secure websites just to seek financial information from these unsuspecting users.
The developers of the Firefox web browsing software application were very quick to realize that the best and the most efficient way to protect the end users of the Firefox web browsing software application from the various security threats present on the internet today is to upgrade the web browsing software application as quickly as possible.
The anti –phishing feature once downloaded and installed on the Mozilla fire fox web browsing software application made sure that the end user is well protected from visiting dubious sites which actually pretend to be genuine web sites. These dubious web sites are marked out by the developers of the Mozilla Firefox and a warning appears indicating that it is a dubious site. The end users are then made to visit the correct web sites saving them from lots of worry and headaches which could have been the outcome of having visited a fraudulent site by mistake. The anti-phishing feature in Mozilla fire fox web browser has truly come a long way in enhancing the web browsing experience of its end user.
