PhishTank on the (5 o’clock) news
posted by Allison on October 18th, 2006 in PhishTank, Members, Community, PhishTank in the news
Why were the OpenDNS offices empty by 4:45 yesterday? Because we were hurrying to a neighborhood haunt to watch PhishTank on TV!
Our very own John Roberts was interviewed for a segment called “ConsumerWatch: How To Fight Back Against Phishing” on KPIX, the local CBS affiliate in San Francisco. The segment came out awesome. You can watch it here. Note that submission #19362 got its 5 seconds of fame. Bet billwake didn’t think it would end up on TV when he submitted it. Thanks to billwake for submitting and Simurgh, krellis, alanjshea, hawk82, jbrunette, polymorp, IntrepidEddie, jkrieger3, irixman, someone1234, miowpurr, bastardblaster, clubjuggle, dr1, Sierran52, lyagushka and jpohl for verifying.
Some of us (not mentioning any names) never made it back to the office, which might explain why this post is just going up now, halfway through the day.

I follow the Bay Area news although I’m 200 miles from there (Paradise, Ca.). After seeing the news story I had yo contact you and join-in. I think this is a great service to anyone who gets worthless E/Mails. I look forward to submitting my goodies. I had a Bank of America goodie but I gave it the deep-six before I contacted you…sorry!

“Bet billwake didn’t think it would end up on TV when he submitted it.”
Yeah, I can confirm that.
