Researchers Offer New Way to Avoid Bogus Web Sites
Carnegie Mellon researchers created a program that helps you avoid bogus websites. According to the article, the program can tap into a network of publicly accessible servers that have been programmed to ping web sites and record changes in the encryption keys they use to secure data. A change in the data could mean the site has been compromised.

Intercepting Internet traffic, and spying on the communication between two computers, is a gold mine for hackers. Now Carnegie Mellon University researchers hope software they've built will make it harder for criminals to hit that jackpot.
