Phishtank

This week saw the launch of Phishtank, a free, community-based service that puts the "phun" back into phish reporting. The service was created by OpenDNS, a start-up that hopes to offer consumers and businesses a safer and speedier domain name system (DNS) resolution service (DNS is what translates Web site names into numeric addresses that are easier for machines to process).

Check out Phishtank's homepage and you'll see some of the more recent submissions, along with links to screenshots of the phishing site, as well as a form you can use to see whether a phish you've received has already been submitted. I submitted a couple that I'd received over the past two days; turns out they'd already been sent in.
