I disagree - this is a good idea, and it REALLY DO WORKS (have been tested on hackers, with great success). Moreover, it is not a problem to catch this fishers/phishers... issue 1,000 special credit cards, send their data to this site, and trace who and how will use them. Or just intersect traffic and log all cards posted to this site (and thace them). Nothing too complicated for any law enforcment agency... Just watching and saying _ohhm, one more phishing_ is the worst idea - to fight anything, you must always be active. Active side always win (it is only a matter of time, how long it takes to win), so if you just looking and using passive defense, you will be biten (early or later). Hackers and Phishers do not make any difference vs other fightings.
