GOOGLE AND PAYPAL WAGE A WAR ON POLITICAL PHISHING


Google and eBay unit PayPal have silently planned to release solutions to prevent phishing and their target is mainly on the Internet-based political-campaigns. Recently, there were a number of Unauthentic websites, promoting the campaigns for U.S elections which had resulted in flooding of spam. These phising websites are well structured and give us the impression that these are authentic.But what they really do is force us to donate some money for the campaign and cunningly obtain our credit card number. To counter this, PayPal launched its new product” Pay PAL KIT FOR NON-PROFITS" , Google too had its own plan and released its product. They are believed to make the online transactions much safer.
