I would like to inform you that Kaspersky Lab uses PhishTank database to detect phishing messages passing through the Kaspersky Hosted Security : mailDefend service. The PhishTank database allowed us to increase the accuracy of detection. Thank you very much for the excellent job you are doing.

Excellent! Nice to see the global PhishTank community helping out an international information security company. It’s also great of Andrey and Kaspersky to let us know.

I would also like to thank one of our moderators, Micha, both for individual contributions (check the stats page!) and for educating Kaspersky about PhishTank.
