A new service called 'I Got Phished' has launched that will alert domain and security administrators when an employee in their organization falls for a phishing attack.

I Got Phished is new service from malware and malicious activity monitoring site Abuse.ch that currently has a database of over 3,400 compromised email addresses for over 2,700 unique domains.
Using an API, vetted researchers such as JayTHL, MalwareHunterTeam, and Michael Padderatz, can submit phishing data consisting of exposed email addresses, password lengths, phishing victim's IP address, and more to the I Got Phished database.

IT security representatives and domain administrators can then sign up to receive free notifications when an email address in their organization is compromised in a phishing attack.

When asked if I Got Phished would also allow individual users to sign up to monitor their email addresses, Abuse.ch told us that they are focusing on organizational notifications at this point.
Use 2FA to protect against phishing attacks
To protect email addresses from phishing attacks, many security professionals, including Abuse.ch, recommend 2-factor authentication.

"I encourage organisations to implement two-factor authentication whenever possible. This is one of the most effective measures that one can take to prevent that phished credentials can get abused by threat actors," an Abuse.ch told BleepingComputer.
