Microsoft SafetyPublished: February 15, 2005 | Updated: June 9, 2008 At Microsoft, we are committed to promoting a safe online experience, increasing online trust and confidence, and protecting the personal and business data of users. We strive to empower people so that they can confidently rely on the Internet to interact, to communicate, and to conduct business. We believe that achieving the goal of a safe online experience requires a coordinated approach that includes developing innovative technology solutions, industry and business collaboration, prescriptive advice and education, and effective legislation, and enforcement. Through our industry, business, and government partnerships, we are working to improve online safety and user confidence, and we are putting spammers, phishers, and scammers out of business. Technology, enforcement, and industry collaboration efforts need to be supported by effective public policy and strong legislation that prohibits deception, empowers consumers, and protects e-commerce. Microsoft is joining with partners worldwide to take action against the worst illegal spammers and phishing scammers. Spam and phishing are among the top e-mail complaints that Microsoft receives from customers. As we continue to develop technology solutions to these problems, we make it a priority to provide guidance, resources, and tools to help our customers. Solving the spam and phishing problems requires coordination with industry, business organizations, and nongovernmental organizations. Microsoft is working with the world's top e-mail service providers, industry working groups, and business organizations to help advance technical standards and guidelines that make it possible. |
