PhishTank - Fighting Phishing Sites
Filed in: Security, Web — October 21st, 2006
PhishTank is a free community site where anyone can submit, veify, track and share phishing data. It does not protect you from phishing but it provides information to identify phishing sites and API to build security tools. PhishTank is operated by OpenDNS, a free DNS service provider.
My two cents
PhishTank is an informative site on phish sites. It would be great if they(or anyone) create a anti-phishing tool(example: browser toolbar) based on PhishTank API. 
PhishTank have helped me to discover the PayPal phishing site hosted under the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia website.
In fact, some Malaysians have become the victim of fake Internet banking websites.
There is a simple rule: Do NOT login website by following link in email message. Goto the website manually and log in there. This will avoid you visiting phishing site via masked links in email message.
