... OR a politically popular one... Imagine the political hay that could
be made out of it if they /did/ go after the cracker for posting a warning
on the phisher's site! I just don't see such a prosecution happening,
unless the crackers get /too/ wild and start taking down other sites with
them, at least anywhere said prosecutors face public elections.
