Anti-phishing feature fails in beta Chrome browser

2014-05-08 13:49:34| InfoWorld: Top News

An experimental feature in test versions of Google's Chrome browser that is intended to provide greater protection against phishing can, in some cases, do the opposite, according to a security company. The "Origin Chip" feature shows the root domain of a website which in theory makes it easier for users to spot if they are going to "paypal.com" or "paypalripoff.com" without the distraction of the rest of the URL describing the exact location of the Web page.
