January 13, 2014 by Raymond Hackney

NiceNic.net put out a report that looked at phishing activity in China, very few .cn sites are involved in phishing and surprisingly there was a decent number of .pw sites being used.

Anti-Phishing Alliance of China(APAC) announced “December 2013 Anti-Phishing Sites Brief Report”.

According to the report:

APAC totally dealt with 168,835 phishing sites over the years and in Dec 2013, 5,681.

Below please find some diagrams and statistical data:
