And starting today, it is, between Anti-Phishing Working Group and OpenDNS.
This is a big day for us, folks, and for all of you who have worked to make our community site, PhishTank.com, the most authoritative source of phishing data on the Web.
Anti-Phishing Working Group is big, and has a member list boasting companies like eBay, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Verisign and Cisco. They’ve been at phish-fighting since 2003 and have made great progress in raising awareness about the seriousness of Internet crime.
We’re young, but growing at lightning speed. The human approach OpenDNS and PhishTank bring to the table is an incredibly important element to combatting the problem.
Anti-Phishing Working Group and OpenDNS make a great team and we’re excited about what we can accomplish together.

Have you guys considered the fake site database provided by The Artists Against 419 (http://db.aa419.org) as a data source? it’s massive and includes fake sites not considered to be phishing (and thus not included by the phishing-only toolbar makers) but are still fake and after people’s money.

This is just a thought but tougher laws against phishing could also help in fighting this disturbing, dangerous and now global online data theft activity.
