Shouldn't every Internet website, or intranet site for that matter be able to provide a domain-name or run DNS to access it? How about starting a petition that browser software developers should incorporate two security options, which should be checked by default... [ ] Disallow sites by IP address [ ] Allow local LAN IPs (192.168.x, etc. for allowing your home router/access-point configuration or some corporate intranets) By using these security options, you will quickly kill off all the "lasy phishers" who don't take the time, don't have the technical knowhow, or don't have the $$ to setup or register a domain-name for thier false site.

But I teach the computer users to use siteadvisor if it has a red flag, they don't visit the site, and yellow flag I ask them to read why site advisor flagged it as yellow. I am just curious though. Wouldn't it be far better for you to combine your efforts with something like siteadvisor? Would it be possible for you to do this? Today's computer users need as many things in one basket as possible. I just think security wise their security software is starting to spread out too thin. How will the layman user just going online, or just online a few months find you? I am not trying to shove siteadvisor down anyone's throat here, I am just trying to show you from experience of teaching new computer users my observations of seven years experience.

I’m getting phishing emails almost everyday telling me either my PayPal is not working, asking me to confirm an eBay purchase, or my bank needs my password. Great that PhishTank and OpenDNS are fighting against the phishers, so sign up, report all the phishers, and help these guys to help Internet be a safer place.
