- 7Simon Willison·9/6/2026securityReport Says New Domain Registrations Are Heavily Abused
A post by Simon Willison highlights comments from Terence Eden citing an Interisle report on abuse in newly registered gTLD domains. The report claims 85 million new gTLD registrations in 2025, with 8.5 million added to blocklists by May and an estimated abuse rate of 10% to 20%. The discussion frames DNS as a major channel for scams and notes that ICANN has been discussing the issue for years.
