  • Patent number: 8819049
    Abstract: A parsing module identifies a framed page within a web page received from a network. The parsing module further identifies information regarding the frame such as the framed page's uniform resource locator. A lookup module accesses a memory module to determine if the identified information regarding the frame is included in a protection list stored in the memory module. A notification module notifies a client's user that the framing web page is fraudulent if the identified information regarding the frame is included in the protection list. Alternatively, the parsing module is adapted to identify a security tag within the framed page indicating that the framed page is not permitted to be displayed within a frame. If the framed page includes a security tag, the notification module notifies the client's user that the framing web page is fraudulent.
