Phishing and other scams are seriously eroding the world’s faith in the Internet's free flow of information and commerce. The rapid growth in these attacks, as well as viruses and worms, is truly appalling. PhishGuard was founded specifically to counteract phishing scams. We believe that it is possible to curtail the growth of these exploits by enabling people everywhere to quickly report suspicious emails and websites. PhishGuard's unique service supports the collective discovery of Internet-based scams, followed by rapid validation and dissemination.. The goal is to "inoculate" as many people as possible against these scams, in the minimum amount of time.The founders of PhishGuard realized that there was an immediate need for anti-phishing tools when they observed that many emails from financial institutions were ideal for phishing attacks -- they were not personalized, and included links to account login pages within the emails. Many banks, brokerages, and other organizations continue to send emails of this sort, directly contributing to the problem. Rather than wait for legislative or customer education solutions that may be far in the future, we at PhishGuard believe that the problem can be managed NOW. The effective use of technology can deny the phishers a large enough population of "marks" to make their efforts worthwhile.PhishGuard - Home
