Unfortunately, I worry that this cure is worse than the disease. Filtering IP addresses are not the right way to attack these sites - the move too quickly and there is too much danger of collateral damage.

I think part of the point of this blacklist is similar to other blacklists. It makes providers remove their head from their ass and actually start cleaning up their networks. When a provider hosts a phishing site for _weeks on end_ and does _nothing_ despite being notified repeatedly, sometimes a blacklist is the only cluebat strong enough to get through the provider's thick skull. -Dan
