Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG)
The Anti-Phishing Working Group is an industry association focused on eliminating the identity theft and fraud that result from the growing problem of phishing and email spoofing. The organization provides a forum to discuss phishing issues and evaluations of potential technology solutions, and access to a centralized repository of phishing attacks. With over 100 partners and sponsors including Facebook, Ebay and Yahoo!, the APWG’s objectives are fully supported by the sites you visit on a daily basis. Wiping out identity theft and fraud is a global concern.
Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI)
The Family Online Safety Institute works to make the online world safer for kids and their families by identifying and promoting best practices and tools in the field of online safety, while also respecting free expression. They do this through the development of public policy, technology, education and special events. FOSI is a trusted convener, bringing together leaders in government, industry and the nonprofit sectors to collaborate and innovate new solutions in child safety in a Web 2.0 world.
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
The Internet Engineering Task Force is a large open international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet. The mission of the IETF is to make the Internet work better by producing high quality, relevant technical documents that influence the way people design, use and manage the Internet.
Internet Watch Foundation (IWF)
The Internet Watch Foundation is the UK’s Internet ‘hotline’ for the public to report their inadvertent exposure to online child sexual abuse content hosted anywhere in the world and criminally obscene content, incitement to racial hatred content and non-photographic child sexual abuse images hosted in the UK.
The IWF works in partnership with the online industry, government, police and the public. As a result of this self-regulatory approach, less than 1% of online child sexual abuse content has apparently been hosted in the UK since 2003, down from 18% in 1997.
Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group (MAAWG)
MAAWG works on a variety of initiatives that address ongoing and emerging messaging abuse issues including bot mitigation, cooperative industry outreach, Web messaging abuse, DNS abuse, wireless messaging, senders issues and other topics.
MAAWG is the only organization that targets messaging abuse by focusing on varied facets of the international challenge. Their committees are organized around technology, industry collaboration, cooperative public policy efforts and special interest groups. Projects are accomplished within these groups and their associated subcommittees. MAAWG is a member of the London Action Plan (LAP) and an associate partner of the StopSpamAlliance. It has liaison relationships with the IETF and other organizations and often joins forces with public policy agencies and other anti-abuse organizations.
StopBadware.org
StopBadware.org works with its network of partner organizations and individuals to fight back against viruses, spyware and other malware. By offering a searchable database of badware URLs, educating users on potential threats, and by advocating sensible changes in policy and behavior, StopBadware intends to greatly reduce the prevalence of badware on the Internet.
