Here Phishy, Phishy, Phishy!

Tom Peters (yes, him again) says "I happen to believe that all innovation comes, not from market research or carefully crafted focus groups, but from pissed-off people." Here's a case in point: PhishFighting.com.

How many phishing emails did you receive today?:  I receive 5-10 emails a day that are supposedly from real companies like Paypal® asking me to click their link and enter my login, password or other private information. These are fake sites created by criminals. I'm tired of the emails and offended by the fact that they are trying to steal from me. So I've decided to strike back and YOU CAN TOO.

Just enter the Phishing emails REAL url below and watch as realistic looking, fake, entries are continously sent to the Phishers fake site. The criminal will receive hundreds or thousands of fake entries and he won't be able to tell which are fake and which are real.

I'm bookmarking this site.

wesome idea- just think if large groups of people used this every day,,,! I've committed to letting one or two copies of the Phishfighting site run in a browser all day, every day, and I change the URLs after a 1000 or so have been entered. Tally Ho!

Eric,
Just go to http://www.phishfighting.com/. That's where you enter the phisher's URL.

I am a fellow warrior against these bastards and have devised a technique to not only inundate the phishing sites but pester the ISP until they shut them down.
