Show HN: Phish.Report – a shortcut to report phishing wherever it's hosted (phish.report)

I report a lot of phishing sites but it gets very annoying very quickly. As well as reporting to SafeBrowsing, etc. for each site you also need to look up the domain registrar and hosting provider (via WHOIS) and email them.

Rather than do this manually every time, I wrote a small CLI to automate the lookups and even open pre-templated emails: https://github.com/bradleyjkemp/abwhose

I'm now redoing this as a web app so that I can do the entire reporting process without leaving the browser: https://phish.report

Kinda fun trying to "speedrun" the process down to as few clicks as possible. And I'm pretty pleased with how fast I've gotten the process.

Now I'm looking to add some more account/user features e.g. a history of sites you've submitted. Perhaps some stats on how many times you've been the first to report a given site.
