A method and system for identifying a network resource such as a phishing website. In an embodiment, a web browser receives a web page that includes a resource identifier, such as a URL, to enable a user to access the network resource. An anti-phishing module accesses the network resource and receives a network address, such as an IP address and a port number. The anti-phishing module accesses a database, such as an assigned name database, to obtain ownership information, such as an owner name and country code, associated with the network address. The ownership information is checked to determine whether the network address is associated with a valid owner that is related to the resource identifier. If the network addresses ownership is not trusted, a warning is optionally provided, indicating that the resource identifier may be directed to a phishing.
