In today's world of merged business and technology applications, e-mail has become as essential as the telephone. But e-mail on the corporate level is also one of the most deadly communication tools. It is through e-mail that most security risks occur, warn security specialists. If the corporate e-mail system is not tightly guarded, hackers can use it as a private access line to the computer system. Whether the security breach is done by a hacker or by attack tools like phishing scams, worms and viruses, the corporation's computer network is at great risk.

What is a valid MAILTO url for recipients of attempted phishing to report to the FBI, FTC and Interpol?
Fraud victims can use the horribly designed IFCC Internet Fraud Complaint Centr http://www.ic3.gov
But the IFCC asks for WAY TOO MUCH data entry from non-victim recipients looking to report a tip of attempted phishing live in real-time, while the phishing data collection site is still active and open for investigation.
If government won't act to prevent financial fraud through phishing, can you recommend any commercial corporate financial phishing reporting sites?
