I just want to be clear abou this. Here is the URL
where they promote a PRIVATE solution to phishing
https://www.opendns.com/enterprise-security/solutions/phishing-protection/
Phishing Protection
Many attacks begin with a “spear phishing” email targeting a
business or a specific employee. Often the message contains a link to a
fraudulent website, enabling the attacker to steal login credentials.
“My secure email or Web gateways would detect phishing, right?”
More likely for general mass attacks than for targeted attacks. OpenDNS
can help with both. OpenDNS’s PhishTank data is automatically
integrated and enforced for known phishing sites. Then, similar to our
advanced malware and breach protection, our predictive intelligence can
discover Internet infrastructure used to host phishing sites—before
your employees ever receive the phishing email.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unfortunately, aside from being incapable of understanding what phiphing
looks like, they also fail the ASCII website test.
They are a NASTY private company that feeds bad data and has no means
to fix their errors, which they have no interest in doing so anyway.
This is a problem with your networks policy and you should fix it.
If you want to stop phiphing, stop brining in mail from your domain from
addresses outside of your domain. That will end about 100% of the
internal threat to your network.
or you can hire me.
THIS does not fix your problem.
