Show HN: Phishbert, an anti-phishing Slack bot for ICO teams

Hi all,

I'm not the biggest fan of the ICO space these days, but it does pain me to see a ton of people losing money through phishing scams via Slack.

I've put together a simple, open-source Slack bot called phishbert that will automatically monitor and delete any Ethereum addresses or Etherscan.io links that are posted in the channels you add it to. It's extensible so you can filter out any other type of message that can be matched with a regex, too.

It only takes a couple minutes to setup, so I implore anyone who feels the need to run an ICO right now to implement some sort of preventative measure like this, to reduce the # of people who get scammed.

You can get started @ https://github.com/ummjackson/phishbert
