Officer Blue fights phishing in German, too
posted by John Roberts on March 27th, 2007 in PhishTank, Data, Customers, German, Windows
While PhishTank currently is presented in English, phishing is worldwide. The submissions reflect that global scale, and the stats tell the same global story.
From Germany, Michael Schindler was kind enough to point out his company’s program, Officer Blue. This Windows program, offered in German and English, incorporates PhishTank data (via the XML file) as a key element in its ratings for sites. Michael noted that Officer Blue always makes a point of referencing PhishTank. That’s helped get PhishTank some German press, too. Danke schön!
My understanding of the product is courtesy of the English version of their site, which may be useful for others as well.

OS X developers are missing a huge chance of opportunity. Here it is in Slashdot format
1) Code an application which will watch OS X browsers current URL (easy,even awfully outdated ICQ can do it) Enable OS X service functionality which should be trivial.
2) Let it get updated phishtank FREE XML every random time, in timeframe of 20-30 mins so nobody will claim it is “spyware” or “leeches bandwidth”
3) Enjoy publicizing of your company, donations or plain $$$, e.g. “Profit!!!”
