Advanced Phishing Techniques


We all are familiar with the technique of phishing, tab-napping is the advanced form of phishing is out in 
the market, in which when u open any genuine page say the page of any legitimate website like any 
shop,etc...and if you dont use that page or in short if that page is kept idle for few seconds because 
of many reasons like we start browsing other site,attending phone calls etc, then malicious page 
automatically gets redirected to phished page or duplicate page of popular sites like gmail,orkut,facebook,
yahoo,etc... which we didnt notice, coz.. we never opened that page, so it looks kinda of genuine page.

How to get protected from this type of attack
  • Make sure you always check the URL in the browser address page is correct before you enter any login details. A fake tabbed page will have a different URL to the website you think you’re using.

  • Always check the URL has a secure https:// address even if you don’t have tabs open on the browser.

  • If the URL looks suspicious in any way, close the tab and reopen it by entering the correct URL again.

  • Avoid leaving tabs open which require you to type in secure login details. Don't open any tabs while doing online banking - open new windows instead (CTL + N).
