Fight back against phishing
Did you ever wish that there was something you could do against the phishers? A new site has just opened that should help you report the phishers to someone who might be able to do something.

Now you can go to the PIRT site and follow the instructions on how to report your phish. There are detailed instructions on how to view the email source (the html code) with different email clients and detailed instructions for how to copy and paste the source and phishing URL into the tool.
The staff will analyze the email and confirm the phish, notify the appropriate agencies, contact ISPs and do whatever is possible to have the phishing site shut down.
