Safe Browsing on Blogger
National Cyber-Security Awareness Month
is here once again. In that spirit we wanted to share a bit about what
we are doing on Blogger to help fight malicious content, along with
some tips for a safer browsing experience online. While spammers are
always coming up with new tricks, the combination of Blogger’s
abuse-fighting systems and the security features of modern browsers
helps ensure that you’ll be able to browse through your favorite blog
content with confidence.
We’ve
partnered with other abuse-fighting teams within Google to develop
sophisticated systems for automatically detecting and quarantining
nefarious content on Blogspot. Over the years, our teams have analyzed
the patterns and behavior of malicious blogs and code, and with each
new detection our existing algorithms are trained for better coverage
in the future. As a result, we are able to catch and quarantine
thousands of malicious blogs each year, and are happy to say that our
overall spam levels are at an all-time low across our service.
Of
course, while our automated systems provide great coverage for a wide
variety of abuse types, you can always let us know about suspicious
blogs by reporting them directly to us
via our online form. We’re also looking to you, the users, to be our
eyes on the web and let us know anything that may have escaped our
existing systems.
Beyond
partnering with us on the detection process, you can also make a
difference in your own online security by taking advantage of your
browser’s built-in security. Modern browsers have powerful security
features that can detect potentially malicious sites and alert you
should you stumble upon them. Using technology like Google’s Safe Browsing
tools, users of many browsers see warning screens when attempting to
visit sites that automated systems have determined to contain
suspicious content. To make sure you have the latest and most secure
browser version, please check out the following browser sites:
We also recommend using one of the following tools to keep your browser plug-ins up to date: Google-developed SecBrowsing; Mozilla Plugin Check.
For more tips on safe browsing and security on the web, check out the home of Cyber Security Awareness Month at the http://staysafeonline.org/.
