Something I've been doing for network service providers is a daily 
report on compromised systems. I'm working with APWG on
a system to desiminate information about phishing to registrars and 
NSPs. We are finalizing the agreement and the folks at APWG would like 
to know who would be interested in participating.

The system is real time, notices in text and xml using jabber as the 
transport. Also if anyone of you have an ASN and would like reports on 
your network let me know.

in short would anyone use authenticated information about a fishing 
attack to place the domain on hold? also the jabber infrastructure could 
be leveraged for regular IM instead of a mailing list. Most of the folks 
going after botnets are moving from lists to IM because of the 
timeliness of the information.
