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.
