Good Monday all...

Today we've released a study,

Cybercrime Supply Chain 2023:
Measurements and Assessments of Cyber Attack Resources and Where Criminals Acquire Them

https://interisle.net/CybercrimeSupplyChain2023.html

The major findings of the study are:

• 5M domains identified as serving as a resource for cybercrime.
• 1M domains reported for spam activity were registered in new gTLDs.
• 500,000 subdomain hostnames reported for serving as resources for cybercrime.
• 1.5 million domains exhibited characteristics of malicious bulk domain registration behavior.
• Exact matches of a well-known brand name were used in over 200,000 cybercrime attacks.
• The US had the most IPv4 addresses serving as resources for cybercrime activity. China, India, Australia, and Hong Kong rounded out the top 5.

Summary: Reactive efforts currently employed by the domain name and hosting industries, governments, and private sector organizations cannot curtail cybercrime and the harms it inflicts on Internet users.

In the report, Interisle recommends measures that policy regimes, governments, service providers, and private sector working together can implement to disrupt the cybercrime supply chain.

The study was sponsored by the #APWG, #CAUCE, and #M3AAWG.

Gabon government takes GA TLD from Freenom

From the announcement,

Gabon's national infrastructure agency estimates that there are currently over 7M delegated domain names in .GA.

BUT.. several million domain names will be deleted as the
previous operator has not provided the data that concern them.

Most of these are likely spam or phishing domains.

One down. Four to go:-)
