New York: World’s leading technology companies have announced to join hands to design a system for combating e-mail scams such as phishing that trick people into revealing information such as passwords by pretending to come from a reputable source
Fifteen companies, among them Google, Yahoo, Bank of America, Microsoft, AOL, and LinkedIn, have formed an organization called DMARC, short for domain-based message authentication, reporting and conformance.
Among other things, it will outline an enhanced vision for email authentication that can scale up to today’s Internet needs.
 “Email phishing defrauds millions of people and companies every year, resulting in a loss of consumer confidence in email and the Internet as a whole,” said Brett McDowell, chair of DMARC.org and Senior Manager of Customer Security Initiatives at PayPal.
