    As an operator of a large collections of Web hosting sites, I appreciate
    the work of those guys who track down sites and send alerts. I can then
    surgically remove the offending phishing sites quickly. When a customer
    does the sites (and I've had a few of those) I usually find multiple
    phishing payload sites...and the account is so closed so quickly that
    the perps don't even have time to fetch the data they collected.

    The champaionship record is nine payload-sites for different phishing
    targets.
