Google and Microsoft get behind Anti-Phishing Start-Up
From a Report from ZDnet:
Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and AOL are providing metadata from messages that get delivered to their customers to Palo Alto, California-based Agari so it can look for patterns that indicate phishing attacks. Agari collects data from about 1.5 billion messages a day and analyses them in a cloud-based infrastructure, according to the company's chief executive Patrick Peterson.
Agari aggregates and analyses the data and provides it to about 50 e-commerce, financial services and social-network customers, including Facebook and YouSendIt, who can then push out authentication policies to the email providers when they see an attack is happening.
