New Web Service Can Notify Companies When Their Employees Get Phished (zdnet.com) 18
Starting today, companies across the world have a new free web service at their disposal that will automatically send out email notifications if one of their employees gets phished. From a report: The service is named "I Got Phished" and is managed by Abuse.ch, a non-profit organization known for its malware and cyber-crime tracking operations. Just like all other Abuse.ch services, I Got Phished will be free to use. Any company can sign-up via the I Got Phished website. Signing up only takes a few seconds. Subscribing for email notifications is done on a domain name basis, and companies don't have to expose a list of their employee email addresses to a third-party service. Once a company's security staff has subscribed to the service, I Got Phished will check its internal database for email addresses for the company's email domain. This database contains logs from phishing operations, with emails for phished victims.

There was one good site left, where I can click a button to remove ads, there is no Flash or any of that crap. There was intelligent conversation. That was Slashdot. Then some total asshole started spamming the deccent site left with a stupid ass rant. Thanks for fucking up the one site that was still good, asshole.

Interesting idea, but how's the coverage? (Score:2)
This is an interesting idea, but relies on phishers doing dumb things like exposing their lists of victims. While that happens a lot, I bet this project can only see a small fraction of phishing victims.
The current stats list about 4700 known phishing victims. There must be hundreds or thousands of times that many in total.
