Delivery Services Phishing

Postal and delivery services are among the most exploited verticals in phishing scams. Our data show that USPS continues to be the most exploited delivery service, and DHL is a distant second. Canada is happy to not be the 51st US State but no doubt concerned to find its postal service #3 in the Hearts of Phishers. Oh! Canada!

Spoiler: To on one's surprise, that pesky .TOP is a top TLD choice for these phishers.

.TOP promises to reduce abuse. Offer a show of good faith

Upon reading a Domain Incite article - TOP promises to play nice on DNS abuse - I commented to Kevin Murphy that a good show of faith would be for .TOP to provide Registration Data Directory Service without the excessive rate limiting.

  • The World's Phishiest Neighborhoods
    In this Interisle Insights article, we take a closer look at our data to better understand what’s hosted at three autonomous systems which have appeared at or near the top in recent quarters. We’ll also review who’s being targeted by these attacks and what corresponding name and address resources are most frequently exploited. Autonomous systems are blocks of Internet addresses, which you can compare to "neighborhoods" in a city. And like any city, some neighborhoods are safe and some are not. The full article, The World's Phishiest Neighborhoods, is hosted here.
