Hello
Let me first thank you for taking the time to talk to me this evening. I do have a comment, however. phishtank is NOT a dependable source of information for blocking access. They are not SORBS. They are owned by a private company, openDNS, which is NOT OPEN (I know because we have been leaders int he free software moment for decades), and which is careless about who they step on. They are a profit center for Cisco.
The pages they are citing as a problem, and there seems to be a single page, is not an example of phishing under ANY circumstances. It is just part of the mirror from an article taken years ago, May 30th of 2005 as a matter of fact. the Times protects its sites with logins and they were captured and all the buttons point back to the Times.
This kind of amature use of a tool is reckless on their part and on the part Cisco (who owns opendns). You should report their negligence and stop filtering on them.
