Picture Kingz site shut down

Within 48hours of this blog's previous post on the Picture Kingz phishing scam, the website has successfully been shut down. The news was spread quite quickly throughout online social networks such as Facebook, Digg, and Reddit among other sites.

Mozilla FF users will now see an active Phishing and Malware Protection page when visiting this site, while IE, Safari and Google Chrome users will be unable to display the page or connect to the site's server at all.

If FF is not blocking this site for you, please visit http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/ for more information on how to turn on FF Phishing and Malware Protection.
