You can use either the latest Norton Internet Security or McAfree SiteAdvisor. ;)

You run a cron job to check for matching HTML of famous websites that get phished and get the URL/account.

Peace,

Hi!
Well..you could write a script to look for directories named like sites..every single phishing url I've seen has one:

blahblah.com/this.popularsite.com/whatever

I'm not saying they all do..but I've seen quite a few..and all of them..bar none..were setup like that off the domain or even off:

thishost.com/~accountname/thissite.com/whatever

>>as well as:
123.123.123.123/thispopularsite.com/whatever

Which clearly means that needs monitored as well.

I would have a perl script to do this..myself.

You should consider using Phishthank (http://www.phishtank.com/)'s API maybe.
