Carnegie Mellon University computer scientists have developed an interactive, online game featuring a little fish named Phil that can teach people how to better recognize and avoid email "phishing" and other Internet scams.
In testing at the Carnegie Mellon Usable Privacy and Security (CUPS) Laboratory, people who spent 15 minutes playing the Anti-Phishing Phil game were better able to identify fraudulent Web sites than people who spent the same amount of time reading anti-phishing tutorials or other online training materials.

Now, the CUPS Lab wants to see how Anti-Phishing Phil performs when he swims in a bigger, more diverse pond. As part of a field test, researchers ask people to visit
here and click on the "Play the game!" link. Participants will be asked to take a short quiz, play the game and then take another quiz.
Those who leave their email address and participate in a follow-up quiz a week later will be eligible for a raffle prize of a $100 Amazon.com gift card.
Comment: Indeed, it is highly surprising discovery. Why now? What kind of game Zahi Hawass ('a world-famous Egyptologist') is playing, and who's pulling his strings?
The entire structure of Egyptology rests on a fiction: the Bible. Egyptologists like Dr. Zahi Hawass have a role of maintaining this fiction, and we find it hard to believe that we would hear about such 'surprising discoveries' unless they had a purpose. So we must ask again: what is going on and why now? Who is sending a message and to whom?
