65,000 phishing accounts shut down in the past year, and they have a total of 700,000 accounts.
Nearly 10% (and that just assumes that all the accounts were made in the last year) of their users were using the site for phishing. That seems like a lot, and even if they were shut down, I wonder if they weren't doing enough to tackle misuse of their own site.
It seems much more likely that users creating accounts for phishing purposes created multiple accounts. In that case, nearly 10% of accounts ≠ nearly 10% of users.
We run several short URL websites and they get flooded by phishers and spammers. Thanks to URL blacklists they don't get far with it. But those guys are pros. They don't create accounts or content manually. They have software that's doing that.
