Download of the Week
SpoofStick This simple browser extension 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 URL. This practice is sometimes known as “phishing". SpoofStick makes it easier to spot a spoofed website by prominently displaying only the most relevant domain information. It's not a comprehensive solution, but it's a good start. This is a must have for all users!
