New Browser was world’s first to foil phishers

Leading UK browser business Deepnet Explorer was the first to offer protection from phishing scams with the launch of its latest version 1.3 on Dec 1, 2004. The new browser's unique "Phishing Alarm" system alerts surfers automatically if ever they find themselves surfing sites identified as illegitimate by the Deepnet Phishing Alarm system.

"Phishing is about to become the number one weak spot in online security. About 750 million phishing e-mails will be sent between Thanksgiving and Christmas, according to MailFrontier. Already the financial institutions in the UK alone have had to refund around £4.5m to some 2,000 customers, according to the Association for Payment Clearing Services (Apacs)" said Deepnet's Yurong Lin." Now, as big business toughens up and becomes less sympathetic to phishing victims, consumers need to do more to protect themselves from corruption in e-commerce.

Phishing sites are usually doctored versions of an organisation's legitimate Web site. Victims are often lured to the sites using sophisticated emails and many are fooled into disclosing online passwords, user names and other personal information.

Surfers targeted by phishing scams will automatically be alerted via the internet's first ever cyber "Phishing Alarm" which is a new feature in the latest version of Deepnet Explorer (1.3). With cyber criminals consistently inventing new ways to dupe surfers, Deepnet Explorer promises maximum protection against the fastest moving threat on the internet. “Phishing Alarm” works by using both a blacklist of known phishing sites and by analysing the URLs and Web sites. For example, it will be able to detect insecure Web sites that are forged to look secure used in some phishing scams”, says Lin.

The Deepnet Explorer browser has already attracted considerable interest since it released its first browser in June, according to Lin. He said it is currently experiencing over 2,000 downloads per day, and is talking to various companies to work on partnerships which will generate revenue for the company.

British Browser First to Beat Phishers

Leading UK browser business Deepnet Explorer trumped global competitors Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Netscape and Firefox, with the claims that its new Phishing Alarm and enhanced pop-up killer made Deepnet Explorer the first known browser to pass Secunia’s new online phishing vulnerability test.
Phishing, where cyber criminals create fake websites to dupe unknowing surfers into revealing personal banking or financial information, is the fastest growing form of tech crime on the internet. The browser flaw described by Secunia can result in scammers hijacking pop-ups on legitimate websites for phishing purposes.
The Deepnet Phishing Alarm is able to detect insecure Web sites used in phishing scams by using both a blacklist of known phishing sites and by analyzing the URL and Web site visited.
"Phishing has become the number one weak spot in online security" said Deepnet's Yurong Lin. “Now, as big business toughens up and becomes less sympathetic to phishing victims, consumers need to be more vigilant and do more to protect themselves by switching to a secure browser like Deepnet Explorer ".
Since launching an anti-phishing version at the beginning of this month (Dec 1, 2004), Deepnet Explorer has become one of the fastest growing browsers on the internet. Download numbers have increased substantially and are expected to cross the 350,000 point.

Alternative Browsers Force Microsoft U Turn

Leading UK web browser Deepnet Explorer claimed that growing pressure from the new breed of alternative web browsers had forced Microsoft’s market leading Internet Explorer (IE) into a dramatic U turn in strategy.

Launched more than three years ago, Microsoft’s IE 6 has become outdated for a growing number of surfers, prompting them to turn to next generation alternative browsers like Deepnet Explorer or Firefox. The promise of better security features and advanced functions like RSS news readers is driving competition within the alternative browser market and attracting new users as they drift away from Microsoft IE. While still by far the word’s most dominant player, alarm bells have been sounding at Microsoft since reports that Internet Explorer’s share of users had dropped to below 90% towards the end of last year (Onestat).

"It’s a case of better late than never" says Deepnet Explorer’s Yurong Lin. "With the exception of Microsoft, the demand for better browsing has been obvious to everyone in the business for over two years now. Next generation browsers like ours appeal to surfers because they offer the latest features as soon as they become available, not when Microsoft decides they should have them. Password management, tabbed browsing, RSS newsreaders and high security anti-phishing features are all things available today for surfers if they want them."

Security fears and the dramatic rise in phishing, where cyber criminals create fake websites to dupe unknowing surfers into revealing personal banking or financial information, are likely to have prompted Microsoft’s decision to launch its new browser one year ahead of schedule says Deepnet’s Yurong Lin. "Phishing has become the number one weak spot in online security. Late last year, Deepnet became the first business to offer anti-phishing protection and, for the moment, our browser remains the only option for surfers that want to protect themselves from this growing hazard on the internet."

Deepnet Explorer has until now retained a unique place in this market. However, Netscape has already announced plans to incorporate anti-phishing technology into its new version 8.0 and today's announcement from Microsoft promises similar protection from the new version of Internet Explorer due for release this summer. "Our business has never been about competing with IE head to head, it's been about developing the most sophisticate technologies that protects users from online scams", claims Yurong Lin. "With the auto detection technology that is due for release next month, we are confident we will be able to retain our leading position in the anti-phishing market".

Password Hashing Offers Latest Protection against Identity Theft

Leading alternative browser business Deepnet Explorer becames the first to incorporate high security password hashing counter measures capable of protecting surfers from the growing problem of identity theft over the internet.

The move signals the first step in Deepnet’s campaign to unite the web industry around the issue of password hashing and the protection the security offers against identity theft.

Password hashing works by mashing-up data like credit card numbers or bank sort codes often entered into website fields. The hashed information is then sent over the net to an approved source like a bank where it is recognised as a valid “hash” generated by a genuine user. While password hashing dramatically boosts internet security, so far only a small percentage of the web’s e-commerce businesses and internet banks have bothered to enable their sites to use the process.

Deepnet’s Yurong Lin comments: “Most businesses have no idea how easy it is to make their sites password hashing ready - the process takes minutes and requires only minimal programming. As a result millions of customers are making daily transactions over the internet that could easily be made more secure.”

Now Deepnet is calling for united action from all leading web browsers to promote the extra security value that password hashing can bring to the world’s web users.

“If more surfers understand the benefits of password hashing, more retailers will be motivated to make sure they enable their web sites. By uniting the browsing industry around this issue we hope to light the fuse on the next security boom to sweep the net”

Deepnet’s growing reputation as the browsing industry’s one to watch means that prospects look promising for password hashing uptake. Since pioneering anti-phising technology last December with its unique anti-phishing alarm, Opera, Firefox, Netscape and most recently, Internet Explorer have all announced plans to follow suit.

Opera and Netscape introduced anti-phishing features into its (Beta version) browser recently and Microsoft Internet Explorer are expected to offer similar protection by the summer.
