Phishing Initiative : Dmarc.org

Written on 31 Jan 2012 by Vincent Abry

Fifteen Web Giants just launched DMARC.org (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance), a project that wants to reduce phishing emails.

“The companies—along with others such as financial-service companies Bank of America Corp., FMR LLC’s Fidelity Investments and eBay Inc.’s PayPal—are hoping to create an environment that allows the recipient of an email from, say, a bank, to feel secure that it isn’t a trick.”
