I finally saw official mention of this so I thought I’d do a quick post. Internet Explorer 7 includes functionality which helps prevent phishing attacks. This technology was provided from third party vendors to Microsoft and includes Digital Resolve’s service (Digital Resolve is a Digital Envoy business unit).
