Toss some Phish in the Tank!

Filed under: Blog,General,Internet,OpenDNS,phishing,Spam,Tech (General) — David @ 14:27

Created by the guys of OpenDNS goodness, PhishTank is a new site that lets you submit emails you’ve received and lets the community verify whether or not the phishing site is working, and if so it lets application developers query to see if a particular URL is a phishing scam or not!ร‚ย  As this grows, it should provide a resource for programs like Mozilla Thunderbird and others to detect scams and help keep the less-informed users out there better protected.

I like the fact that you can submit phish, help verify phish others have submitted, but also you can tell when phish you’ve submitted have been verified by others and what the status is.ร‚ย  Nice to be able to get some feedback to know you’re helping to make a difference with your submissions!

They also have a blog (who doesn’t) if you want to read the musings of the site’s creators.
