Twitter stops phishing with DMARC
Twitter is adopting Domain-Based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC), a new specification designed to authenticate emails so users don't fall for phishing attacks.
The technology helps prevent users from receiving phishing emails puporting to come from Twitter, among the most abused brands on the web.
DMARC is not a standalone protocol, but one that works in concert with popular security methods already adopted: DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM), a technique that associates a domain name to an email message, and Sender Policy Framework (SPF), which detects spoofing.
