Re: Rock phish information

Interesting question. Yes, those links could be used as a kind of web bug, to track the recipient address. The phisher would have to keep records to do that tracking.

It doesn't seem to be happening. People who are posting Fifth Third phish are still getting more. I see attempts to block phishtracker access to some of the web pages (which makes the link appear dead), but I haven't seen any evidence that they are actively removing phish submitters from their mailing lists.
