The first thing you need to know about Rock Phish is that nobody knows
exactly who, or what, they are.

Wikipedia defines the Rock Phish Kit as "a popular tool designed to help
nontechnical people create and carry out phishing attacks," but according
to security experts, that definition is not correct. They say that Rock
Phish is actually a person, or perhaps a group of people, who are behind as
much as one-half of the phishing attacks being carried out these days.

No one can say for sure where Rock Phish is based, or if the group operates
out of a single country.
