Found this list of anti-phishing tips, you probably already know most of them, so I picked 3 that I didn’t really know about and thought were most interesting…

18. Hard evidence: Be very careful when disposing of old computers and hard disks. They’ve been found to retain confidential Internet banking information. Use software to ERASE and over-write data on your hard disk to ensure that it is not recoverable.

30. Not just a token: Consider using an ID Vault USB TOKEN that encrypts all your user ids and passwords and stores them on a flash drive, which can then be used to securely log onto websites. Most tokens come with a list of legitimate sites and also prevent key-logging software from working effectively. The device itself is password-protected, so thieves have an added layer of encryption to tackle.

31. Hashing to confuse: Software plug-ins are joining in the fight against phishing, an example being the PwdHash, or password HASH tool developed by two Stanford professors that scrambles any password you type, and creates a unique sign-on for each site you visit. Even if phishers are given a password, it’s the wrong one.

I also added my own #45: If your not sure it’s a phishing site - Enter the URL of the suspected phishing site into PhishTank. It’s user -based anti-phishing collaborative site, where many people work to confim phishing sites.
