On Tuesday, January 30, I’ll be representing PhishTank on a panel about Sharing Phishing Data at the Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group (aka MAAWG) meeting in San Francisco, California, USA. I know at least one PhishTank member, spamfighter, will be at the meeting. In fact, he’s on the same panel, as part of his “day job.”

I’ll be talking about how PhishTank works, how the data gets used, where it gets shared, and where we hope the community will lead us. If you’re using the data and we haven’t heard from you, I’d love to know about it before Tuesday. More examples help reinforce the success.

The audience is commercial and non-commercial members of the anti-abuse community, focused on email concerns. My goal, beyond raising awareness of PhishTank and participating in a lively panel discussion, is to encourage more organizations to use the data and consider ways they can contribute.

If anyone else from the PhishTank community will be attending the meeting, please introduce yourself. I’d like to thank you in person for your help.
