I’ve been a fan of the network consulting group Netcraft<\/a> for something like ten years now. I’ve been following their web server surveys for ages, and at one time I managed to get tcp.com<\/a> into their most requested sites list. One of their newer services is the Netcraft Toolbar<\/a> which is designed to warn you when you visit risky sites, and also blocks known phishing sites. <\/p>\n

When they recently released their Firefox version, I installed it. As a test I pulled up some recent phishing emails and tried it out. Most of the sites were detected, but a few were new enough that they weren’t. I then noticed that it allowed you to submit new phish sites to them. After submitting a few I got an email saying that if I was first to report a phish site, I’d be eligible for a prize. I submitted a few where I was the first reporter and Netcraft asked me for an address to send me a prize.<\/p>\n

It’s been a bit busy, so I had almost forgotten about it. Today I got a package from CafePress<\/a> which had me scratching my head wondering who was sending me something. I opened it up and found a nice mug with a Netcraft logo emblazoned on it. This will be nice for making nice steaming cups of hot chocolate as the weather grows cold. Thanks Netcraft!<\/p>\n
