CastleCops PIRT Has Prevented Over $150M in Stolen Funds

Via CastleCops.com.

Since May 2006, our Phishing Incident Reporting and Termination team has directly prevented more than $80 million in credit card losses, and indirectly an additional $75 million by working with our partners. We've shut down not only phish sites, but drops all the while preserving evidence for law enforcement. And we need your help by donating your time as handlers to keep on investigating phish crimes so we can continue to prevent even greater numbers.

PIRT right now is receiving around 47,000 unique phish submissions per month. Our PIRT handlers are doing amazing work and trailblazing new roads in phish investigations and intelligence.

Note: The folks over at CastleCops and the PIRT volunteers do an amazing job, and I salute each and every one of them. - ferg
