I am not too convinced about how long I am gonna carry on doing this but I am finding PhishTank mildly addictive! PhishTank is the new website that is trying to fight back as a community against unscrupulous sites that are involved in phishing.
PhishTank is a collaborative clearing house for data and information about phishing on the Internet. Also, PhishTank provides an open API for developers and researchers to integrate anti-phishing data into their applications at no charge.
What will be very interesting to see will be how the community grows and how their API is utilized. A wordpress plugin anyone?
So come on everyone, “Shop a Phisher!“
It is strangely addictive, and we’re gonna make it easier and easier to verify and submit…
Great, I really am looking forward to seeing how the service and site develops.
