Phuck phishing

Technology columnist Robert X. Cringely proposes a way to stamp out phishing, the practice whereby crooks con people out of their money by sending authentic-looking e-mails purporting to be from banks, eBay and so forth. Turnabout being fair play, he suggests that when we get a phish e-mail, we go to the bogus site and enter bogus consumer information. If enough people do this, phishers will be overwhelmed trying to tell the difference between between real and fake data, and eventually they'll cut out the trickery.

It's a great idea. I'm in. Pass it on.
