The results of the Survey show that, during the second half of 2008, .INFO had the lowest phishing rates and the lowest average attack duration among the gTLDs measured. .INFO’s phishing durations were half the world average. http://www.afilias.com/news/2009/05/13/new-report-shows-info-domain-safest- phishing-attacks<http://www.afilias.com/news/2009/05/13/new-report-shows-info-domain-safest-%0Aphishing-attacks> (OK, I didn't do a survey, and I am probably even working from old impressions.
