Phishing as a regular job

Symantec has found out that the number of new phishing sites drop with a considerable 30% during weekends. This indicates that phishers are working phishing as their regular job, according to Symantec. Cyber crime has moved from the domain of the lonely students to the professional criminals, making serious money with it and improving efficiency and stealth all the time. The statistics of Symantec shows us that it also moves to day time jobs.

I wonder if they move to office locations, have company parties and social charters.
