Infosec vendors are horrible sources for data. Ebay + Paypal make up for so much phishing that they are usually ignored for reports like these. It's 'assumed' that they're getting raped by phishing constantly and impossible to make a pitch if it looks like they're hogging all the attacks. Removing them from the picture, you still have all the banks to worry about before looking into the consumer web space. Regardless, phishing is on the rise across all industries. Halifax especially. Any site with users and a login is subject for abuse, the more users the better.

Symantec also doesn't seem to be a member of the APWG, so perhaps we should look there for comparison:
