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.
