The Phishing Game

Members of Carnegie Mellon University's Usable Privacy and Security Laboratory have come up with a novel way to educate Internet users about common phishing tactics.  Anti-Phishing Phil is an interactive game that "teaches users how to identify phishing URLs, where to look for cues in web browsers, and how to use search engines to find legitimate sites". 

It's a great tool to educate yourself about common phishing tactics.  I encourage you to give it a try.
