  
Anti-Phishing Phil is an interactive game that teaches users how to identify
phishing URLs, where to look for cues in web browsers, and how to use search
engines to find legitimate sites.
Anti-Phishing Phil was developed by members of the Carnegie Mellon University Usable Privacy and Security Laboratory,
with funding from the US National Science Foundation (Cyber Trust initiative)
and ARO/CyLab.
User studies have found that education can help prevent people from
falling for phishing attacks. However, it is hard to get users to read security
tutorials, and many of the available online training materials make users aware
of the phishing threat but do not provide them with enough information to
protect themselves. Studies conducted at CMU demonstrate that Anti-Phishing Phil is an
effective approach to user education. This is a game that parents should play with their kids, and kids should show to their parents!

I recommend that anyone who surfs online, including kids, should take a few minutes to run through this game. 2. DOESN'T WORKAbbey Nelson, Unregistered weird i don't WORK |
