Important Product Announcement—NRD 1.0 End of Life (EOL) and Migration to NRD 2.0

Within the next months, we will stop supporting Newly Registered Domain (NRD) 1.0 and steadily continue user migration to NRD 2.0, an upgraded version with more comprehensive data coverage and event monitoring than ever before.

To facilitate this transition, we divided the process into two parts. The end of support for NRD 1.0 is scheduled for 1 March 2024. That means our development team will stop providing fixes and technical support for this version by that date. By 31 December 2024, we will entirely discontinue NRD 1.0 and will thus no longer provide any related service files or updates, except for NRD quarterly files that will remain accessible using NRD1 credentials after the EOL period.

Predict Phishing Attacks with Our Early Warning Phishing Feed

WhoisXML API recently launched the Early Warning Phishing Feed (EWPF), a new predictive intelligence source that provides daily lists of domains likely to figure in phishing attacks. It aims to supplement and enhance existing phishing detection, brand protection, domain filtering, and law enforcement processes.

“Our Early Warning Phishing Feed provides predictive threat intelligence to help organizations stay ahead of phishing attacks amid today’s fast-moving cybercrime landscape. This new product rightly aligns with the company’s commitment to make the Internet safer,” says Jonathan Zhang, WhoisXML API CEO.
