A Salesforce.com employee was tricked into disclosing a password, providing the phisher with information on a customer contact list. Those were the headlines this week. With Software on-demand on the rise, and the “All You Need is a Browser and an Internet connection” sales pitch, bad things can happen. Just remind yourself and your 9 year old daughter surfing the Internet unattended. By now, we have all received emails coming from PayPal, eBay, and even major Banks asking you to log in and verify your account. If you don’t have a Citibank account asking for information, that smells like a “phish”. But what if you do?

Sure, both Firefox and IE7 has anti-phishing features. I’ll be giving some great tips on using Firefox in an upcom

It is now at $41. So, why not a "buy" rating late last year? Maybe investors could have made some money.
