lol yes and no. I don't want them to phish of course, but I DO want them to be familiar with the techniques that phishers use. By analogy, I would love people to know how to shoot, but it's so they can DEFEND themselves, not so they commit a crime.

According to the company, which monitors the incidence of phishing sites through its browser toolbar, the total number of sites rose from 41,000 in 2005 to 609,000 in 2006. Of this, a staggering 277,000 unique URLs were detected in December alone, with 457,000 cumulatively in the last three months of the year.
Netcraft’s explanation for the sudden surge is the emergence of phishing-creation kits known collectively as "Rockfish" (or "R11"), which automate the rapid creation of scam websites. These allow sophisticated domain management, including webs of sub-domains, as part of the battle to overwhelm anti-phishing systems with vast numbers of short-lived sites that are impossible to keep tabs on or block.
