Symantec is relaunching the antiphishing industry group gained via its 2005 acquisition of WholeSecurity and promising to bring a more professional approach to the effort while signing on some well-known participants.

Dubbed as the Symantec Phish Report Network, the effort builds on the network of companies previously brought together by WholeSecurity to share information about phishing attacks and help more businesses and researchers fight the latest fraud techniques being applied by online attackers. Along with companies such as eBay, Microsoft and Visa, who helped found the Phish Report Network, Symantec has already brought on board search giants Google and Yahoo, Web portal AOL and banking giant Wells Fargo to help increase the organization’s reach.
