Computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have developed an interactive online game, starring a little fish named Phil, who teaches people how to easily detect Internet scams.
Phil, who lives in Interweb Bay, will hopefully leave Internet users better equipped to spot any potential scam URL they may come across.
The reseachers at Carnegie Mellon University found that people who played the game could decipher fraudulent websites better than those who had spent the same time reading anti-phishing tutorials or other online training materials.
