How To check a Phishing Site??

Phishing is an attempt to hack your web accounts by displaying a similar looking page which redirects you to main website but also stores your password.This is very harmful as the hacker has your password with your knowledge.So it important to check whether the site is a phishing site or not.
To check for a phishing site just copy and paste the following in the address bar of your browser( where you type the address of the site you want to visit):

javascript:alert("The actual URL is:\t\t" + location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + "/" + "\nThe address URL is:\t\t" + location.href + "\n" + "\nIf the initial part of addresses do not match, this may be a phishing website."); 

This code is basically a javascript commands which finds the location of where the site is hosted and the url of page.

Email alias by GMail and MSN

Gmail and MSN had been in war for long.This time MSN has gone one step ahead.
Initially gmail provided email alias for gmail users in the following forms
  • dot(.) can be used anywhere within the username as another id,for eg. if you own mail@gmail.com then you also own m.ail@gmail.com, ma.il@gmail.com,etc.
  • you can use addition symbol(+) after username to get your mails ,i.e. if you own mail@gmail.com then all mails sent to mail+new@gmail.com will also be sent to you.
  • you are also allowed capitalization of some or all the alphabets in your username ,for eg. if you own mail@gmail.com then you also own MaIl@gmail.com ,MAIL@gmail.com,etc.
These features help gmail users to manage their emails and reduce spams to get the most out of their email addresses.


Now MSN taken this fight to next level. MSN already provides the dot feature mentioned above but from now on you get 5 more email alias making it as good as getting a new email account.What it means is that if you own mail@hotmail.com you can get all mails sent to message@hotmail.com if you set it as your email alias.

Also note that other sites such as facebook,twitter,etc treat all email alias as a separate email id so you can register many facebook accounts ,or for that matter on any site, with just one email account!!
