Of course they get closed down and setup shop elsewhere, but it's better than not forwarding/fighting at all

Those who have enough of a clue to report sites will know the phish-vs-regular-spam distinction. And hopefully these contributors, plus automatic (tentative) detection by a-v and similar security applications will keep the database up to date.

It's going to be volatile and high-maintenance because phish sites come and go quickly.

I was wondering what the business model will be. Charging commercial users once it takes off?

Also it will probably feed into their "open DNS" (so called) service. That service is very flawed (see other threads, especially Slashdot where they exposed what's wrong with it very thoroughly). However, if it provides enough commercial incentive to keep the "phish tank" going, this could be a good thing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17015978 Mon, 02 Oct 2006 19:17:31 EDT BBR's http://www.dslreports.com/phishtrack http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17015867 Turbocpe : BBR (»/phishtrack) has had one for some time, and I forward them as I can. But as the CNN article stated, time wise, it's easier for user to simply delete the phish rather than take the extra couple steps to forward it.

As far as CNN's comment of :
quote:
They're busy enough just deleting spam - and for mere mortals, the distinction between phishing email and spam is exceedingly fine.


I don't know, but it seems quite clear to me to be a difference between pure phish and spam??]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17015867 Mon, 02 Oct 2006 18:58:21 EDT
