PhishTank is a community based anti phishing service.

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 [1], WOT [2] and by PhishTank SiteChecker [3]. All PhishTank data is free for download or for access via an API call.
