Web surfers who think they’ve found a phishing site or message can submit information to PhishTank.com for examination by other users, the AP reports. Messages or sites determined by users to be potentially dangerous are then labeled as such, according to the AP.Microsoft owns the browser space with its Internet Explorer (IE) software, trailed by Mozilla’s free, open-source browser Firefox. Various estimates put IE at between 80 percent and 90 percent market share, with Firefox somewhere between 7 percent and 15 percent share.
