Microsoft : Windows 11’s Upgraded Phishing Tools

Microsoft installed phishing defense in Windows 11 Version 22H2 to help reduce the ongoing danger of identity fraud.

A phishing attempt frequently takes the shape of an email that closely resembles the real thing and leads the recipient to a bogus login page. The most convincing phishing attempts closely resemble the logos, language, and layout.

The Windows 11 software system includes improved phishing security that instantly recognises risk when users type their passwords into any app or website. According to a post by Microsoft, Windows can determine whether an app or website is secure and will alert users when it isn’t.

Admins can better defend themselves against such exploits by being aware of when a password has been stolen. When Windows 11 defends against one phishing attack, the threat intelligence streams to defend other Windows users using other apps and websites that are also under attack.

Users are also advised to update their passwords. Once activated, it can alert users using Chrome or Microsoft Edge to potentially dangerous websites. The improved phishing protection function integrates with ones system’s local PC account, Azure, or Microsoft Active Directory.
