When Fraud Protection blocks a web page

When Fraud Protection Blocks a Web Page

If you try to browse to a web site known by Fraud Protection to be fraudulent, a "Blocked" message will appear within your browser. This message replaces any web page content that would have been displayed had Fraud Protection been off.

At his point, you should normally:

  • Avoid visiting the web site
  • Delete any emails associated with the URL

However, if you wish, and at your own risk, you can still display the web site identified as fraudulent.

  • If Radialpoint Security Services is not configured with a password, you can click the Continue to fraudulent web site button to display the page.
  • If Radialpoint Security Services is configured with a password, you must enter the security services password before clicking the Continue button.

How does Fraud Protection know a web site is fraudulent?

When you instruct your browser to display a web page, the URL of the web page is compared to a list of known fraudulent web site URLs. If a web page is considered fraudulent, Fraud Protection displays the "Blocked" page. This database of fraud URLs is stored on remote servers so you are always using the most up-to-date list.

I received a phishing email; why wasn't it blocked?

Fraud Protection blocks web pages when you view them through your web browser. It does not stop you from receiving or replying to phishing emails.
