That way - I do not have to register at phishtank too - since I just proxy in thru them - and you have the audit trail already - to "GoDaddyUsers". Cheers, DW Oh - one more thing - since they register to your api. - they will proxy me - since you trust they know who their paying email custimers are.

That way - I do not have to register at phishtank too - since I just proxy in thru them - and you have the audit trail already - to “GoDaddyUsers”.

Could you talk with the guys at GoDaddy.com ? They are using an open source webmail client that's widely used. They could easily integrate via their Ajax front end into your API. That way when I open an obvious Phishing email - I can just right click on it (they have that menu already for Spam logging) - and choose "Report Phishing". You can then scan the email for http: in it - extract - record - and even link to a copy of the email itself so people know what to look for. Then of course the reverse beckons - when they deliver my email - they can flag suspected phishing mail... Thanks!

If these rates continue, which I doubt they will after the hype, the service would be huge. However, if this could be integrated into webmail systems (for example, if the Report phishing option, in Gmail forwarded it to PhishTank), this would be sustainable.

I've been reporting phish attempts received in my email to the following entities for several months now: reportphishing@antiphishing.org, phish@ists.dartmouth.edu, spam@mailpolice.com, phishing-report@us-cert.gov, postmaster@mailsecurity.net.au, report@reportphish.org About a year ago, my aunt's bank account was drained as a result of one of these scam emails, and I have made it a mission to get some payback. Here's hoping that PhishTank can help me to do that. Neat resource - thanks to those who offer it.

People like the folks at <a href="http://wiki.castlecops.com/PIRT" rel="nofollow">PIRT</a> can take our data and start doing the detective work and going after sites and operators. I don't think DoS'ing the sites is the right course of action because it's usually just hosted on a compromised web server that some random person has no idea is being used to run a phish scam.

You guys are the ones allowing us to, as a community, stop these script-kiddes. Now, if only we had some way of vengeance; there a way to do a DoS or eat their bandwidth? Seriously though, thanks a bunch. It's just what the internet needs. No no, Thank you PhishTank developers. You guys are the ones allowing us to, as a community, stop these script-kiddes.
