Phishy Phil and the attack of the killer worms

1 comment

Boffins at Carnegie Mellon University have developed an online game designed to teach Internet safety. Anti-Phishing Phil sees our fishy hero swimming in a sea of worms (URLs). He/we must work out which worms are safe to eat and which should be rejected.

Okay, so it’s not exactly World of Warcraft, or even Sonic the Hedgehog, but nice to see an innovative approach to educating people about the all too real perils of online security.
