PhishTank - Another effort towards anti-phishing

The people behind OpenDNS have recently launched a site called PhishTank. On this site users can report phishing attacks, similar to APWG or CastleCops. Once a Phish is reported, users can verify and give votes to confirm the Phish. You need to register yourself to add or verify a phish. PhishTank also provides an API for developers and researchers to integrate anti-phishing data into their applications. This feature is currently provided at no charge.

Apart from data on phishing, I found some interesting statistics on the site such as 'Top 10 Phish Submitters' and 'Top 10 Phish Verifiers'. May be they will launch a competition soon :).
