RottenPhish is a database of email contacts for where you can report "phishing" attacks. The term "phishing" is used to describe an email which "appears" to come from some legitimate company asking you to update your account information, but then when you click on the link in their email, instead of being brought to the real site for that company, you are brought to a cleverly disguised URL and website which mimics the real one. (This would be like putting your ATM card and code into a fake ATM machine.)
