Microsoft Includes Phishing Protection in Latest SP2

Microsoft Tuesday released the latest aggregated group of updates, Service Pack 2, for its Office 2003 suite. Included are significant security enhancements, in addition to stability and performance improvements.

Some of the fixes included with Office 2003 SP2 have been previously released as separate updates; the service pack combines them into one update.

The most noteworthy enhancement is the addition of a new Phishing Protection feature to Outlook 2003's Junk E-mail Filter. This feature will be turned on by default for users who have Office 2003 SP2 and the latest Outlook 2003 Junk E-mail Filter Update.

Phishing is the luring of sensitive information through e-mail, such as passwords and other personal information, by an attacker masquerading as someone trustworthy.
