- wilwheaton, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I'd suspect that the average Digg user can quickly and easily spot a phishing scandal (if it even gets past our filters) but it's people like our parents who need to be protected. If we can work together to nail these phishing ***** at the server level, it's time well spent.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5My concern isn't whether the average tech can spot it. It's whether the people reporting these and the people doing the close-downs can. I've had people spoof millions of emails "from my domain" which has caused enormous problems from idiots who thought they knew something and didn't - and admins who didn't bother to pay attention and just assumed the mail really was from me and really was spam. Very disconcerting when you are running a non-profit site with tons of users who expect the thousands of emails you send every day to actually GET to them.
- Tribble, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4You've missed the reports davidu, the data is entirely open to the community, just read the reports. The phish URL is there with all investigatory work. If its so publicly open how is it among closed circles? Don't mislead the readers.
- davidu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Hmm... More closed phishing circles. I think this data needs to be way more open and available. Also, credit should be given to data providers and there should be a feedback loop. I'm working on this now. If someone is interested in helping me they should definitely email. Bay Area folks even better!
- uhdean, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Just post the URL to the phishing site to digg.com and the Diggers will bring the site down in no time!

http://snappytux.com - merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1seumas: A valid concern.
However, I think it's pretty clear to most net-savvy folks that the site responsible for a phishing attack is not the domain from which the email appears to have been sent from, but the phishing URL to which it links.
If a phishing email links to a URL on your server that's clearly a fake ebay/paypal/amazon/bank login page, your server is hosting a phisher, no questions about it.
You still have to be careful. First things first, it's probably best to contact the ISP first.
One problem with stepping up to the level of DDoSing a server hosting a phishing URL, is that there may be other perfectly legitimate sites hosted on the same box/network/ISP that may be affected by your attack. Hopefully, these guys don't aproach this level of vigilanteism. - Tweekster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have been doing that a lot lately from the spam reports on my email server...
I contacted 3 websites last week, all were shut down within 12 hours. They were quite suprised as to what was happening..
I also contacted Bellsouth about a spammer/phisher on their dsl service...man they are idiots. saying that they cant control what he is sending blah blah blah they arent responsible etc etc etc.
It felt good to get those couple of sites knocked offline so quickly. Hopefully before anyone got scammed - gd007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Very good. I have a web site where I teach about evils of spam and phishing in a
funny way. It is : http://www.spamsalad.com/. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It says how they do it in the article. At least that is what they say they do.
