What is anti-phishing intelligence sharing (APWG)?

The Anti-Phishing Working Group (**APWG**) is an international coalition sharing **phishing** threat intelligence. Members include financial institutions, tech companies, security vendors, and law enforcement from over 2,200 organizations.

**APWG** maintains the eCrime database tracking **phishing** URLs globally. Members contribute data and receive access to shared intelligence. This enables faster response: when one member detects a campaign, others benefit immediately.

Beyond data sharing, **APWG** coordinates research, publishes trend reports, and facilitates law enforcement cooperation across jurisdictions. Their work helps the ecosystem respond collectively to **phishing** threats.
