[LINK] SpoofStick to whack the Phish (was New twist - Paypal login page faked)

[jeff.evans at iird.vic.gov.au]

A solution (for Internet Explorer and FireFox) to the phishing technique
mentioned in the previous posting (which replaces your URL with a graphic).

   "What is SpoofStick?
   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...

   SpoofStick makes it easier to spot a spoofed website by prominently
   displaying only the most relevant domain information."
