That’s the reason why the 00101 (Binary) Scientists @ Carnegie Mellon University introduced a cutesy online game to educate the folk how to dot out scams b4 tryin to blindly shell out passwords and personal information to buy items, to a rogue binary guys!

The 900-seconds game, called ‘Anti-Phishing Phil’, characterizes a lil’ fish namely, PHIL that mus’ determine between Gud and Bad web locations so as to devour the ‘e-filth’ and gain points. It was programmed @ CMU’s CUPS (Carnegie Usable Privacy and Security)
Laboratory. In surveys, CMU accounts that after playin, people (human beings…please!) were better able to sort out the gud and the evil.
