PIRT continues to devastate Phishers

I’m so impressed with the dedicated volunteers who, without any compensation but the sheer desire to terminate phishing sites and help others, continue to do an amazing job with PIRT, the Phishing Incident Reporting and Termination squad.

For June, we have the following top-10 phishing reports:

PayPal => 279
eBay => 142
Bank of America => 50
Nationwide => 31
Wachovia => 30
e-gold => 21
Wells Fargo => 18
Banca Intesa => 18
HSBC => 16
Chase => 15

A full list is here.
