Re: BBR's http://www.dslreports.com/phishtrack
It looks most useful as a service to be used by anti-virus, toolbars and other applications.
Those who have enough of a clue to report sites will know the phish-vs-regular-spam distinction. And hopefully these contributors, plus automatic (tentative) detection by a-v and similar security applications will keep the database up to date.
It's going to be volatile and high-maintenance because phish sites come and go quickly.
I was wondering what the business model will be. Charging commercial users once it takes off?
Also it will probably feed into their "open DNS" (so called) service. That service is very flawed (see other threads, especially Slashdot where they exposed what's wrong with it very thoroughly). However, if it provides enough commercial incentive to keep the "phish tank" going, this could be a good thing. |
