2008-06-06 - "Opera has beefed up security in its upcoming Web browser as it looks to challenge Firefox and Internet Explorer in the area of Web security. Putting a bulls-eye on Web-based threats, the Opera has formed a partnership with Haute Secure*, a Seattle-based security vendor founded in 2006, to protect users from rogue sites known to distribute malware as well as from links users might click on and download malicious software. The fruits of this union will bear in Opera 9.5... Opera users can choose to send information back to Haute Secure or Opera’s anti-phishing partners, Netcraft, PhishTank. Haute Secure also gets Google's malware data, which is the sole data source for Firefox 3..."
