Phishing Activity: Key Statistics
Quarter over Quarter comparison: August 1, 2022 - October 31, 2022

Each reporting period, we analyze URLs, domain names, and IP addresses reported for phishing. We use these and other metadata — domain and IP address registration data, ICANN registry and registrar monthly reports, routing data, attack type, and other indicators — to report key statistics for each reporting period.

A comparison of key statistics for the periods May 1 – July 31, 2022 and August 1, 2022 – October 31, 2022 appears in the table below.
