Sounds like a good idea. Then take FD off your security list and then
take pen-test, and the other 10 groups you are basically RSS together
and you will have a list of substance..oh..maybe you won't.

Don't you think it is a bad signal to your readers that have the
messages on the front page of your group are making fun of you??

Websense also doesn't "Alert" us on Ebay and Paypal scams..because they
are all over the place. One or two Inland RS e-mails is worthless..just
like 8 billion everyday basic ebay phishing e-mails. If this IRS
phishing e-mail was using a interesting new technique or trick, then it
would make perfect sense to tell FD.

A new URL trick? A new fake SSL trick? A new redirection trick? What is
the news in it then? Wow, look some phisher is so lame that they can't
even get the name of the US agency correct? What news...
