Phil Libin has posted a cool little widget for reducing your odds of being phished. His SpoofStick is a free Mozilla Firefox plug-in that shows you the domain of whatever page you're on. As he writes:
"Most current 'spoofing' attacks entail tricking a user into following a mislabled link (like this one to http://www.cnn.com/) and then hoping that some percentage of visitors won't decipher the complex URL to figure out that they’re not in Kansas anymore. SpoofStick makes it easy to foil this type of attack because it clearly shows you only the most important information about where you are. "
