Comments on: More moderators to help keep the Tank clean http://www.phishtank.com/blog/2007/02/06/more-moderators/ A blog about and from PhishTank, a collaborative clearinghouse for data about phishing. Thu, 21 Aug 2008 06:43:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Mads Dam http://www.phishtank.com/blog/2007/02/06/more-moderators/#comment-10087 Sat, 10 Mar 2007 08:58:19 +0000 http://www.phishtank.com/blog/2007/02/06/more-moderators/#comment-10087 Phishing could be described as a small group annoying millions. But if those millions annoyed the small phishing group, it would soon disappear (and hopefully find an honest job). So, why not..? If somebody phishes for personal data, feed them with fake information - instead of just clicking 'delete' and sigh. Here's a link to someone doing it already, and publishing the result too: www.419baiter.com Here's a related idea: When spammers scan the internet to search for new email adresses to abuse, why not again feed them a lot of nonsens? You don't even have to implement this yourself; a link to a site already doing it is enough. Here are two examples (but I'm sure there are more): www.testmyfirewall.com/antispam.html or www.auditmypc.com/freescan/antispam.html Phishing could be described as a small group annoying millions.

For example, you can enter insults and other nonsense into them. Is this ok if a person has the time to fart around? Is it ok to annoy the phishing sites?
