A new source for checking the latest active phishing websites, called OpenPhish, has become available online, from FraudSense, a company that offers anti-phishing intelligence services.
OpenPhish is similar to PhishTank in that it provides real-time information about the URLs that have been identified as phishing.
But the difference consists in the fact that it provides the targeted brand on the main page and, more importantly, it offers intelligence about the cyber crooks, collected from FraudSense’s systems.
This refers to emails that are associated with the threat actors, metadata and statistics, and even the kit used to create the phishing site. Such details do not accompany all entries of the phishing feed, though, as the service makes them available only to paying customers.
“We launched OpenPhish to help the global effort in the fight against phishing and cybercrime. Using our automated phishing detection technology, we are able to provide real-time information about phishing sites activity, thus allowing organizations to take immediate action in protecting their users,” a representative of the company told us via email.
FraudSense is based in Tel Aviv and has been founded in 2011. It is focused on providing anti-phishing technology that relies on proprietary detection algorithms leveraging cognition, artificial intelligence and active learning.
