Remember, its not just whether "whois" is used, it's whether its DNS (as
opposed to IP) whois and whether the sensitive fields shielded by the
OPoC recommendation are used.

Hi,

I am unaware of any such specific correlating statistic. 
The APWG has been leading an informal group to document the various uses
of
Whois data in phishing detection and mitigation.  As soon as I get the
ok
from the authors, I'll forward it to the group as background
information.

Christopher: 
Are there any statistics establishing a correlation between phishing
takedowns and access to street address, email or phone number in the
public
whois?

Given some of the legitimate uses of WHOIS data to combat fraudulent
practices, here is a snapshot from the March Anti-Phishing Working Group
(APWG) statistics that might be helpful to consider.  Statistical
