Spoiler: To on one's surprise, that pesky .TOP is a top TLD choice for these phishers.

  • The World's Phishiest Neighborhoods
    In this Interisle Insights article, we take a closer look at our data to better understand what’s hosted at three autonomous systems which have appeared at or near the top in recent quarters.

The full article, The World's Phishiest Neighborhoods, is hosted here.
