Hi Ish,

In the article it is mentioned that* "**the owner of the site has gotten
the assistance they need to secure their server." *
Can a server be secured against phising attacks? if so, can you point me
out to some papers or documentation that gives a brief overview of such
system.

Thanks,
Regards,
Chittesh Sham
