PhishTank was launched in October 2006 by entrepreneur David Ulevitch as an offshoot of OpenDNS. The company offers a community based phish verification system where users submit suspected phishes and other users "vote" if it is a phish or not.
PhishTank is used by Opera , WOT and by PhishTank SiteChecker . All PhishTank data is free for download or for access via an API call.
