Punishing Phishing Website Hosts
When are our ISP's going to help protect their user communities by blocking all network traffic from Web Hosting companies that host Phishers, Organized Crime, and other assorted lowlifes until they identify the owners of discovered phishing sites, blacklist them all in an international criminal database, and shut down all their existing websites? Look at what happened to the user experience when ISP's started scanning & filtering infected email before it ever got delivered to the recipient. Who the hell wants to receive infected emails? Why not proactively filter out traffic from web hosts that actively support phishers & other scam artists, and spare us all the unneeded pain of identity theft and financial fraud? Why degrade the value of and trust in the global internet by tolerating deliberate & repeated collusion between web hosts and black hats? We don't allow these people to host television shows or radio stations, so why do we tolerate them operating web servers?
