OPERA SOFTWARE said the real-time Fraud Protection in the new version 9.1 of its Web browser is pretty smart.

It has incorporated digital signature technology from GeoTrust and a Phishing net from PhishTank in the browser, yet still gives it away for nuffink.

According to PhishTank, the month of November saw more than 9,628 unique phishing attacks. The open access of PhishTank, and the use of PhishTank data in Opera, is intended to encourage the sharing of information and increase the chance of eliminating phishing all together, the firms said.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
