Phishing Activity: Key Statistics
Quarter over Quarter comparison:
May 1, 2022 - July 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.
