Looking at the February-April 2023 phishing activity, one trend stands out. The story...

In March, @briankrebs reported that Meta had filed a lawsuit against Freenom, see https://krebsonsecurity.com/2023/03/sued-by-meta-freenom-halts-domain-registrations/

We’ve observed a significant decline in phishing domains reported in the Freenom commercialized ccTLDs in months surrounding the lawsuit.

Responsible for over 60% of phishing domains reported in November 2022, Freenom’s percentage has dropped to under 15%.

Do you wonder how many targeted organizations could collect a strong case of cybersquatting and infringement against their brands, and why more aren't taking similar actions against TLD operators and registrars?
