Chris Gleason of Firetrust shared some good news yesterday. Sitehound, their browser toolbar product for warning you about all kinds of malicious websites (not just phishing) is now utilizing PhishTank data as one of their sources.
Sitehound is now able to provide much more accurate and timely detection and protection from phishing websites. In addition to our own sources and users who report sites to us, SiteHound now plugs into PhishTank’s live XML feed of known phishing websites.
As a reminder, here’s all the info about the XML data file, including its location and format. Kudos to Firetrust for taking another step to protect its customers.
Thanks (again) to the PhishTank community for creating a free, high-quality resource for use all over the world.
