Who Owns This Warning Panel ?

This warning panel has come up several times and I have no clue who owns it or where it comes from.

Can somebody please identify the owner of my anonymouse body-guard ?

I am using Windows 2002 XP Home with SP3 and Mozilla Firefox 3.6

Many thanks

Hi John,

Firefox... in options under security.

 

Opera and Chrome have similar warnings with phishing sites.

A lot of their information is coming from: http://www.phishtank.com/

You can go to phishtank and test a few links. Today, Opera seems to have added the links the quickest.

Chrome missed, but will add it later. Otherwise, site will fool user into providing facebook login details.

Well ! Jumpin Jiminy, I never knew and I had to waste the valuable time of somebody who must surely be one of the most qualified people in Wales to tell me ! I bet the Postman would have known, but my Rottie won`t let him anywhere near the house, so I could`nt have asked him.

I have checked the "Block reported attack sites" under Security, but I never knew they would display a panel, just thought they would BLOCK them.

Had Firefox shown THEIR logo instead of that damned Traffic Warden, I would`nt have had to appear such a dumb-bell. Ding-Dong.

I feel a real twit raising such a question on the Forum. Still, we live and learn don`t we ?

My very best wishes to you - Goofy

John, not many people know this. Some would think it's their AV throwing up the warning, or the alert itself is part of the site, or a website that's down.

It's firefox, opera, chrome doing their part to protect users. Opera seems to display the most clear warning using their name/logo in the warning.

Keep in mind, not all of the links on phishtank are 'valid' phishing sites. So only some will be blocked by firefox, opera etc.

Here's another:

Opera warning


Notice site will steal a user's login details. Clicking on any other links for support etc won't work (a sign the page is there to steal info).
