  • Patent number: 10812528
    Abstract: Anti-Phishing protection assists in protecting against phishing attacks. Any links that are contained within a message that has been identified as a phishing message are disabled. A warning message is shown when the phishing message is accessed. The first time a disabled link within the phishing message is selected a dismissible dialog box is displayed containing information about how to enable links in the message. After the user dismisses the dialog, clicking on a disabled link causes the warning message to flash drawing the user's attention to the potential severity of the problem. The links may be enabled by the user by selecting the warning message and choosing the appropriate option. Once the user enables the links, future displays of the message show the links as enabled.

  • Patent number: 10140776
    Abstract: Altering properties of rendered objects and/or mixed reality environments utilizing control points associated with the rendered objects and/or mixed reality environments is described. Techniques described can include detecting a gesture performed by or in association with a control object. Based at least in part on detecting the gesture, techniques described can identify a target control point that is associated with a rendered object and/or a mixed reality environment. As the control object moves within the mixed reality environment, the target control point can track the movement of the control object. Based at least in part on the movement of the control object, a property of the rendered object and/or the mixed reality environment can be altered. A rendering of the rendered object and/or the mixed reality environment can be modified to reflect any alterations to the property.

  • Patent number: 8065370
    Abstract: Embodiments of proofs to filter spam are presented herein. Proofs are utilized to indicate a sender used a set amount of computer resources in sending a message in order to demonstrate the sender is not a “spammer”. Varying the complexity of the proofs, or the level of resources used to send the message, will indicate to the recipient the relative likelihood the message is spam. Higher resource usage indicates that the message may not be spam, while lower resource usage increases the likelihood a message is spam. Also, if the recipient requires a higher level of proof than received, the receiver may request the sender send additional proof to verify the message is not spam.
