Of the millions of domains registered on 1–31 May 2023, WhoisXML API researchers studied a randomized sample of 31,000 domains to determine commonalities among their registrant countries, registrars, and TLDs. We also examined domains’ text string usage to uncover potentially emerging trends. This study’s findings and links to threat reports developed using DNS, IP, and domain intelligence sources are summarized below.

Of the millions of domains registered during 1–30 April 2023, WhoisXML API researchers studied a randomized sample of 29,000 domains to determine commonalities in their registrant country, registrar, and TLD. Our analysis also included looking into the domain registration volume for the riskiest or most-abused TLDs.

Additionally, the researchers examined domain text string usage to uncover potentially emerging trends. This study’s findings and links to threat reports developed using DNS, IP, and domain intelligence sources are summarized below.

Of the millions of domains registered during 1–31 March 2023, WhoisXML API researchers studied a randomized sample of 31,000 domains to determine commonalities in their registrant countries, registrars, and TLDs. Part of our analysis also included looking into the domain registration volume for the riskiest or most-abused TLDs.

We also analyzed domain text string usage to detect potentially emerging trends. Check out our findings below and links to the threat reports our researchers put together using our domain, DNS, and IP intelligence sources.

Of the millions of domains registered on 1–28 February 2023, WhoisXML API researchers analyzed a randomized sample of 28,000 domains to determine their top registrars, registrant countries, and TLD distribution. We also studied their text string usage to detect possible emerging trends. Check out our findings below, along with links to the threat reports our researchers put together using our domain, DNS, and IP intelligence sources.

Out of millions of domains registered during 1–31 January 2023, WhoisXML API researchers analyzed a sample of 1 million domains to determine their top registrars, registrant countries, and TLD distribution. We also studied their text string usage to detect emerging trends. Check out our findings below, along with links to threat reports our researchers put together using our domain, DNS, and IP intelligence sources.

Using our extensive collection of domain intelligence, WhoisXML API researchers analyzed several millions of newly registered domains (NRDs) added on 1–31 December 2022. We studied their top-level domain (TLD), registrar, and registrant country distribution. We also looked at their text string usage as part of the effort to detect emerging trends. Check out our findings below, along with links to threat reports our researchers put together using our domain, DNS, and IP intelligence sources.

WhoisXML API analyzed more than 5.6 million newly registered domains (NRDs) added on 1–30 November 2022 to detect trends, such as top-level domain (TLD) and text string usage. We also looked at the WHOIS data redaction status and registrar and registrant country distribution of the NRDs. Check our findings below, along with threat reports our researchers put together using domain, DNS, and IP intelligence.

Our team monitored the DNS for registration activities related to some of the most trending and pressing issues in August, ranging from sports to global disasters. An overview for each trend is below.
