PhishTank: Open phishing site database

This week the folks behind OpenDNS launched PhishTank, a new database for tracking and defending against phishing sites. It's a pretty slick-looking site that allows you to submit suspected phishing sites, verify (or not) sites that other people have submitted. What really sets PhishTank apart, though, is that the database is totally open via a free API. This is intended to allow developers to build anti-phishing tools into their own programs and web apps at no cost. I've really been enjoying OpenDNS over the past few months, so I hope PhishTank will become as mature and useful.
