Google has added notification for phishing URLs to its service that lets administrators know if their networks have been compromised.
Google launched the Safe Browsing Alerts for Network Administrators program in September as an “experimental tool” that let administrators running their own networks receive e-mail notifications pointing out bad URLs if Google’s automated scanners find malicious content.
Although network administrators may not be responsible for running websites on their networks, it allows them to notify those who do run the sites and get them cleaned. Hackers frequently target poorly secured Websites in order to place malicious content or set up a phishing site, which may be unknown to the website operator. That’s risky for website owners, who could find their sites blacklisted without their knowledge.
