I think you mean 2017? 2007 is when the feature launched.

january/february 2007 looks like the time the list jumped from a few hundred to tens of thousands of sites.

  • That was the normal volume of manually identified sites at the time. Before 2007 there weren’t a lot of participants because it was in beta.

  • Malware may be easier to catch, but for phishing, it was fairly small (under 150k) until around 2016 where it starts growing linearly.
