A phishing detection server component and method is provided. The component can be employed as part of a system to detect/phishing attacks. The phishing detection server component can receive password reuse event report(s), for example, from a protection component of client component(s). Due to the malicious nature of phishing in general, the phishing detection server component can be susceptible to attacks by phishers (e.g., by reverse engineering of the client component). For example, false report(s) of PREs can be received from phisher(s) in an attempt to overwhelm the server component, induce false positives and/or induce false negatives. Upon receipt of a PRE report, the phishing detection server component can first verify that the timestamp(s) are genuine (e.g., previously generated by the phishing detection server component). The report verification component can employ the timestamp(s) to verify veracity of the report (e.g., to minimize attacks by phishers).
