The press spotlight is shining squarely on PhishTank. :)

Computing
, a high-profile tech magazine in the UK, covered the recent findings of Cambridge University researchers, who used PhishTank data to analyze Rock Phish. PhishTank is referred to as “the largest online clearing house of phishing data.”

Back State-side, Brian Krebs of the Washington Post does his own piece on Rock Phish and uses a nifty screenshot from PhishTank to demonstrate Rock Phish submissions.

Congrats to the entire community on all the great attention.

The community grows in May, gets even faster

May stats are live. Check ‘em out here.

A few things popped out at me. First off, median time to submission dropped by 11 hours down to just 19. And the total number of invalid phishes is only 739 out of more than 53,000. Not only is the community getting faster, it’s also getting more diligent about submitting.

It just keeps getting better and better. Thanks, guys. Keep it up!
