Spoof Stick - detect fake websites

Posted in » Software - by Ades on June 9th, 2005


SpoofStick is a simple browser extension that helps users detect spoofed (fake) websites. A spoofed website is typically made to look like a well known, branded site (like ebay.com or citibank.com) with a slightly different or confusing URL. The attacker then tries to trick people into going to the spoofed site by sending out fake email messages or posting links in public places - hoping that some percentage of users won’t notice the incorrect URL and give away important information. This practice is sometimes known as “phishing”. Get your Spoof Stick at CoreStreet.com
