Learn more about your domains.
As a part of our external data sources we have access to reliable and up-to-date information from Domain Trust.
Internet domains are a major vector for cyberattacks. Everyday thousands of domains are registered with the sole intent of conducting criminal activity such as phishing or distributing malware. They are used by criminals and state-sponsored actors to conduct attacks that deliver malware, defraud people, and conduct other illicit activity. Domains can be registered quickly, cheaply, and in bulk allowing cybercriminals to move quickly to keep ahead of detection.
The Domain Trust initiative was launched in November 2020, in the context of the global pandemics of COVID-19 and its impact on our digital lives. GCA, taking advantage of its independence as a neutral, convening party (across countries, industries, and sectors), partnered with a number of organizations with the capacity to take effective action against malicious domains.
Since its inception, the partners in the project have managed to build a solid information-exchange platform with millions of suspected domains. The effort has attracted actors from different sectors, including a significant number of TLDs. Now, as the initiative grows in interoperability and industry representation, it has also started to explore novel concepts such as predictive analytics or self-sovereign identity.
