Note: Many phishing emails were offline at the time of submission to PhishTank. Offline phishes cannot be voted on, and therefore cannot be verified.

Median Time To Verify: 16 hours, 17 minutes
The median time it took the PhishTank community to verify submissions as valid or invalid.
Most Active UsersOut of the more than 24,000 members of the PhishTank community, these members were the most active in August 2007. Note: One member account (PhishReporter) represents an organization, not an individual.
Phishing URLsIn August, 1,038 phishes (12% of valid phishes that month) used an IP address (i.e. http://12.34.56.78) and 7,797 (or 88%) used a domain name (i.e. http://example.com).
Networks That Host PhishesThe servers hosting verified phishes are under the responsibility of these networks. PhishTank knows this because it traces phishing Web sites to an IP address. These are the organizations responsible for those IP addresses.
Popular TargetsThese are the brands that were fraudulently represented in phishing emails. Targets are identified by the submitter at the time of submission, or determined by PhishTank's software to the best of its ability. The majority of phishes are not categorized with a target.
