Symantec is planning to revamp the Phish Report Network, an online project aimed at cutting down on phishing 
identity-theft attacks.

The security vendor on Tuesday said it will unveil a new design for the project's Web site and will add a number of new 
industry partners, including AOL's Netscape portal and the financial institution, Wells Fargo & Co.

Launched in February 2005, the network was originally sponsored by security vendor WholeSecurity, which Symantec 
purchased last September. Microsoft, eBay, and Visa International had signed on as founding members, but it was unclear 
whether Symantec intended to continue the project following the WholeSecurity acquisition.
