Microsoft inked an agreement with whitelist specialist Digital Resolve on Sept. 5 to help its next-generation Internet Explorer 7 Web browsing software and Windows Live Toolbar application protect users against fraudulent Web sites.
Under the terms of the deal, Digital Resolve, a unit of Digital Envoy, will provide its Trusted Server data feed directly into the two Microsoft products, promising to arm the programs with the latest information about Web sites believed to be operating to support phishing schemes, which typically aim to steal personal data in order to commit identity fraud.
