This is a new site intended to assist in amassing evidence that can be analyzed and potentially used in prosecuting those engaged in phishing for identities online.
http://www.reportphish.org/index.html The site is sponsored in-part by the Internet Law Group. The Internet Law Group is a boutique law firm based in Northern Virginia that focuses on complex Internet litigation, and specializes in the forensic tracking of spammers and phishers. Jon Praed, ILG's founding partner, has been at the forefront of the Internet community's legal battle against spam. Over the past eight years, ILG has obtained over $20 million in judgments against spammers on behalf of some of the largest ISPs in the United States, and even more importantly has collected millions from spammers on behalf of its clients, and has helped shape the law against spam, including: * an early precedent-setting victory on summary judgment in AOL v. LCGM, 46 F. Supp. 2d 444 (E.D. Va. 1998); * an important personal jurisdiction decision in Verizon Online v. Alan Ralsky, 203 F. Supp. 2d 601 (E.D. Va. 2002), that established spammers can be sued wherever their spam causes injury; and * a ground-breaking contempt of court decision in AOL v. CN Productions (E.D. Va. 2002) (available here) Feel free to pass this note on to other lists where you feel folks would be interested in helping fight phishers. -rick Infowarrior.org You are a subscribed member of the infowarrior list.
