Well MS NBC did a story on MailFrontier’s Phishing Index yesterday.

Phishing emails are those fraud email you get from time to time which looks to be coming from PayPal or Wells Fargo, but actually are linked to some server in Korea or the Philippines. The email typically request you to update your account info, SSN, credit card info, anything they can use to steal your money and identity.

Well at MailFrontier we detect fraud and filter out the phishing email so your grandmother doesn’t make a huge mistake and give away her life savings to some punk overseas.

You would be surprised how hard it is to detect legitimate email and the fraudulent one. Take the test for yourself. [link]

UPDATE:

Well you may have trouble getting to the survey or our site right now, because Slashdot has picked up the story and the traffic is slamming the provider who is hosting the survey.
