| Phishing threats lure unsuspecting email
recipients into clicking a link in an email that looks
like it’s from their bank to update their account
information. However, these clever scams are simply
trying to steal your personal information, credit
card information, and more. Anonymous Surfing protects
against phishing scams with a real-time anti-phishing
feed that integrates into your Web browser to block
you from clicking through to these fraudulent sites.
Updated every fifteen minutes, this added protection
automatically displays a warning page to notify you
that you are being led to a known phishing site.
Pharming attacks are similar to phishing in nature
but they don’t rely on you clicking on their
fraudulent email. Pharming attacks are even more
dangerous because they are able to redirect you
to a fraudulent Web site even if you type the URL
into your Internet browser. Anonymous Surfing protects
against pharming threats by routing all of your
Internet traffic through our hardened, secure servers.
In addition, when you have Anonymous Surfing activated,
your Host file is never accessed so even if it’s
corrupted, you will still arrive at your intended
destination safely.
Evil twins trick wireless users into connecting
a laptop or PDA to a tainted hotspot by posing as
a legitimate wi-fi provider. Once you connect to
their wireless network, the evil twins can watch
your online activities and steal your confidential
information. Anonymous Surfing protects against
evil twins by routing all of your Internet traffic
through our secure servers, thus bypassing the fraudulent
hotspot. |
