Anti-Phishing Phil

I’m betting you know someone that you worry about having their identity stolen by going to a phishing site. We all do. Now there is a cute little game to help educate them:

Anti-Phishing Phil is an interactive game that teaches users how to identify phishing URLs, where to look for cues in web browsers, and how to use search engines to find legitimate sites.
Anti-Phishing Phil was developed by members of the CMU Usable Privacy and Security Laboratory with funding from the US National Science Foundation (Cyber Trust initiative) and ARO/CyLab.

OK, so the game isn’t so much “fun” as it is “cute”. However, it is a step in the right direction in terms of educating people.
