Could you build this?
Partial Ingesting open-source feeds like OTX and OpenPhish is simple, but curating, analyzing, verifying community phishing submissions, and writing legitimate original intelligence advisories requires active human cybersecurity domain expertise.
What it would actually take: The technical backend requires a feed aggregator (Python/FastAPI) polling APIs from AlienVault OTX, PhishTank, and URLhaus into a database (PostgreSQL), paired with automated sandboxing (like Playwright or Cuckoo/StalkPhish) to capture screenshots and headers. The hard barrier is the cyber threat intelligence (CTI) verification pipeline and triage workflow to avoid publishing false positives or defamation.
