Castlecops closed down on December 23, 2008. Castlecops was an internet security site that offered internet security information. There were many tasks Castlecops took on from reporting phishing sites to webhosting companies, to assisting people showing them how to remove malware from their home computers. The volunteers scattered to different sites. One forum where anti-spammers congregate is InBoxRevenge.com - This forum shows some real research in its posts about spam operations.
Some of the other volunteers can be found at other active forums such as: Bleepingcomputer, DSLReports, MalwareRemoval, PCPitstop, SpywareWarrior, and others. Perhaps the highest concentration of former Castlecops' volunteers have made their online forum home at SpyWareHammer.com.
Castlecops shutdown because the owners could no longer donate the time and resources to keep the task going.
