Here is an article(1) abot a new web based game from Carnegie Mellon on Phishing. It is set up to help teach recognition of Pfishing sites and train you to avoid them. Nice work! (2) is the link to the game. BTW, you can tell these are the real sites because of the layout of the URL's , in the first case teh www.pcworld.com ends the basic URL and everything after that is to direct you to the right page in the dateabase. In teh second one the ://cups.cs.cme.edu is the end of the basic URL, if they had been phishing sites the second one might have looked like, ://cmu.ru/cups.cs.cmu.edu , with the cmu.ru looking a bit like Carnegie Mellon Universities web adress, but really a site ocated in Russia (hence the .ru for russia). Cool info right? That was part of what they explained in the game.
