Phishing Activity: Key Statistics
February 1, 2024 - April 30, 2024
We analyzed URLs, domain names, and IP addresses that have been reported for phishing. These and other metadata — e.g., registration data, DNS zone data, attack type and targeted brand — allow us to determine where phishers are acquiring resources for their criminal activities. Indicators of compromise allow us to distinguish hostnames delegated from domains that were purposely registered for phishing campaigns from hostnames assigned to compromised web sites that were delegated from domain names for legitimate purposes.
During this period, we measured phishing reports, phishing attacks, and the number of unique domain names reported for use in phishing attacks. We also measured famous brands that were targeted by phishers.
