Phishing is so lucrative that a $100 fee on domain registrations would do literally nothing to combat it. 20-30 victims can easily earn the phisher $1000

- dane-pgp 7y agoThat's an important number to note, thank you. Do you have an estimate for how many victims a single domain is likely to trick (before it gets blacklisted by Google Safe Browsing or similar)?
- FDSGSG 7y agoDepends on who's being spammed and what kind of techniques the phishing site employs to resist safebrowsing. Single-use links and various browser fingerprinting techniques are common and fairly effective. Beyond that it comes down to who's being spammed, with the right demographics your link could last very long without being reported by anyone. I hack phishing sites for fun, anything between 0-500 hits seems common for the type of phishing seen in the OP (mostly depending on the quality of the leads).
