Phishing Activity: Key Statistics
Quarter over Quarter comparison: August 1, 2024 - October 31, 2024

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, 2024 - July 31, 2024 and August 1, 2024 - October 31, 2024 appears in the table below.
