Disruption beats listing: Why domain takedowns and enforcement stop cybercrime at the source
Phishing and domain-enabled fraud are not “edge cases” in today’s threat landscape - they are a primary entry point. reports that phishing remains the dominant initial intrusion vector in Europe, accounting for 60% of cases in the reporting period covered by the ENISA Threat Landscape 2025. Against that backdrop, most organisations still rely heavily on passive controls: email filtering, URL reputation checks, and third‑party abuse lists. These controls matter - but they do not end the threat. They flag malicious infrastructure; they do not remove it.
Anonymous Domain Registration Is Fuelling Cybercrime - And the Industry Knows It
Phishing, fraud, malware, and brand impersonation do not scale because attackers are especially clever - they scale because the internet makes it cheap and anonymous to stand up new infrastructure. At the centre of that problem sits domain registration. If domains can be registered globally with minimal identity verification, cybercrime will continue to industrialize faster than defenders can respond. This article examines why anonymous registration has become one of the internet’s most powerful abuse enablers - and what would change if registrars worldwide treated identity verification as a security control, not a formality.

Strengthening the Email Ecosystem: Outlook’s New Requirements for High-Volume Senders
In today’s digital world, email remains one of the most widely used - and most targeted - communication channels. To combat rising threats like phishing, spoofing, and spam, Microsoft Outlook is rolling out new authentication requirements for high-volume senders (defined as those sending over 5,000 messages per day). These changes aim to create a more trustworthy and secure email ecosystem.
DMARCbis: The Future of Email Authentication — What You Need to Know
As cyber threats evolve, so too must the tools we use to protect against them. One of the most powerful standards in email security - DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) - is undergoing a major evolution. The proposed update, known as DMARCbis, is a revised version of the original DMARC standard (RFC 7489), currently working its way through the IETF standardization process.
