Anti-spoof feature request: msg#00122

Subject: Anti-spoof feature request

Hi all

Due to the increase in spoofing atempts for PayPal, Ebay, Online banking, and
others, I noticed that for the most part they trick users in pressing links
that claim to go to the real site while they are going to a spoof site.

They are like this:

<a href="http://othersite.com/www.paypal.com/blablabal";>
https://www.paypal.com/login
</a>

Could you implement a feature that scans the contents of a hyperlink and if it
detects inconsistency, displays something to inform the user. Like it could
check if it contains an url that is different from what is specified in the
href attribute.




With kind regards



Andy Pieters
