Symantec to block phishing
Symantec announces new service to help stop phishing scams
Anti-virus and anti-spam vendor Symantec has announced a new service to help
identify and block phishing scams.
The Online Fraud Management Solution, which is aimed primarily at financial
services companies, will use probes and decoy email accounts to collect, analyse
and identify new phishing scams. When new scams are identified, Symantec will
create filters to block the messages. The filters will be deployed automatically
to consumers who use Norton AntiSpam and Norton Internet Security.
In addition, Symantec says it will notify any Online Fraud Management customer whose
name has been used fraudulently in the scam so that it can work together with law
enforcement agencies to track down the perpetrators of the scam.
