A good New Year's resolution for hosting providers

The District 14 of Alcoholic Anonymous in Springfield, Missouri -or more presumably its hosting provider Lan Artists, had an interesting anti-phishing move. Not only did they quickly take down a phishing site against Paypal hosted on their network. But they also configured a redirection to the ID theft section of the FTC website. By doing so, hosting providers could potentially enlarge the number of targets and victims that file complaints and provide evidences to these anti-phishing bodies and ultimately bring to justice more phishing gangs.
