Using your local CERT is definitely an option worth discussing. I've also
generally had good responses and turn-arounds using the Netcraft toolbar.

How are you reporting a takedown notice for a phishing site. Presently we
have no standard for takedown notices. We will notify the Domain owner most
times, but it seems to take them sometime to do it.

I know there is phishing reporting sites for just about every vender out
there. I tried Phishtank and the voting thing in my very novice view is
clunky at best. Is anyone a member of APWG and a phishing reporter ?

If so any wisdom on how it works. I see there a site in the APWG where you
can report phishing but you also need the header information,  90 % of the
time we don’t get when a user reports phishing.

We have been playing with the Netcraft toolbar extension and like the end
user ability to report phishing directly, but we are just evaluating it.  I
am in the belief that most anti phishing venders

use a feed from at least one organization to populate their databases.
Forgive me if this has be addressed but I could not find anything in
Educause on this subject.
