How to protect yourself from Phishing Sites

Have you ever been targeted by a phisher who tried to gain access to your account using some phishing website. This usually happens in Social Networking Websites like Orkut, Hi5 ,FaceBook etc. I found a Mozilla Firefox Addon WOT (Web of Trust) which helps in identifying these type of sites.WOT, Web of Trust, warns you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. Protect your computer against online threats by using WOT as your front-line layer of protection when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory.

It keeps you informed about the following :

• Spyware, adware and viruses
• Browser exploits
• Unreliable online shops
• Phishing, spam and other Internet scams
• Annoying or malicious spam

It gives you warning when you visit a harmful site or to a site which rating is very poor.



It also gives you rating near the address bar in Mozilla.It shows something like this:



WOT lets you customize your level of protection to make your browsing experience safe and enjoyable. To protect your family, you can even set WOT to block inappropriate content for children.

So what are you waiting for just add the addon WOT and be secure.
