PhishTank mailing lists open for business

posted by John Roberts on December 5th, 2006 in PhishTank, Members, Community, Email, Developers, Lists

When blog comments are not enough... it's time for a mailing list. PhishTank can improve faster if its members and developers are talking directly to each other, not just sharing their ideas or frustrations directly with the team here. With that in mind, here are two mailing lists, one for anyone & everyone involved with PhishTank and one for developers who want to discuss the PhishTank API and data uses.

In both cases, only subscribed members may post to the list. Postings are not moderated. Postings are archived on a corresponding website, which isn't pretty yet, but email addresses are stripped, of course, to prevent harvesting.

Users

For general discussion within the entire PhishTank community: PhishTank Users

To subscribe: blank email to

Developers

For discussion about developing with the PhishTank API, and with PhishTank data more broadly.

To subscribe: blank email to
To post:
Archive: http://phishtank.com/lists/developers/

The PhishTank administrators are on both lists, of course.

   I think a forum would be a lot better then a mailing list. But then that’s just my opinon and I am not forcing you. Just don’t rock the boat.

   Mailing lists don’t preclude having a forum, as well. “The perfect is the enemy of the good.” Voltaire

   But point taken.

   What’s to stop phishers from being included and learning how to be a better phisher?

   JustaPerson brings up an excellent point, but it may be a necessary
   evil - depending on how much involvement this generates. I would
   agree not only that point, but that this site could even become a
   future target of DDoS for that matter and should not be taken lightly.
   It occured numerous times when CWShredder came out to fight malware and
   with malware-fighter SpyBot.info just to mention a few.

   One thing that may help.. Keep an eagle eye and offline archive of
   incoming IP addresses. If any are known from anonymisers or such, twit
   them out! (of course this would not apply to submissions to be analyzed)

   I have a problem. Is it possible to connect to phishtank database not by php but by java. You see, we made an application (java-based) and there is this feature that will check the url against the phishtank database for a possible fraud site. ^_^ We are having a rough time figuring something from the codes in the FAQs to suit our needs. ^_^ Ty!

   I am being bombarded with subscriber emails.
   How do I unsubscribe from Phishtank?
