.org made the transition to EPP exactly one year ago this month, following VeriSign being forced to give up control of .org to Public Interest Registry [pir.org]. PIR is putting the finishing touches right now on centralizing the Whois informatiom from various registrars for the 3 million .org names into a single, registry database.
As for why spammers are choosing .biz as opposed to .info or .org, perhaps they figure it sounds the most dot-comish and therefore they figure people are stupid enough to believe them? ;)
Just a thought ...
Cheers, Doug
