CastleCops
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CastleCops is a volunteer security community focused on making the Internet a safer place. All services to the public are free, including malware and rootkit cleanup of infected computers, malware and phish investigations and terminations, and searchable database lists of malware and file hashes.
Education and collaborative information sharing are among CastleCops highest priorities. They are achieved by training the volunteer staff in their anti-malware, phishing, and rootkit academies and through additional services including CastleCops forums, news, reviews, and continuing education.
CastleCops consistently works with industry experts and law enforcement to reach their ultimate goal in securing a safe and smart computing experience for everyone online. CastleCops reached its five year anniversary in February 2007 with accolades from well-known computer security industry pundits and players:
- Washington Post: In Praise of the Phish Fighters
- Symantec: CastleCops "Phighting" Phish
- SpywareGuide.com: CastleCops Five Year Anniversary
- Sunbelt: In Recognition of the Founders
