Users of the Firefox Web browser have been flocking to Netcraft's Web site to
download the security company's new antiphishing toolbar, a company
representative said Thursday.
The free toolbar, released Tuesday, was downloaded more than 60,000 times
within hours of its release, according to Netcraft Internet Services
Developer Paul Mutton. By comparison, the company's antiphishing toolbar for
Microsoft's (Profile, Products, Articles) Internet Explorer (IE) browser has
been downloaded around 100,000 times since its release earlier this year, he
said.
"This seems to indicate that the Firefox community is more interested in
security," Mutton said.
An increase in phishing attacks has been grabbing the attention of Internet
merchants, end-users, and security providers alike. .....
