Our deep dive allowed us to build detailed threat research materials containing:
- Thousands of domains and subdomains containing the strings “data + privacy,” “data + protection,” and “protect + privacy,” several of which turned out to be malicious
- Very few of the web properties had unredacted WHOIS records
- Thousands of IP address resolutions, several of which were dubbed “dangerous” by various malware engines, resulting in a considerable number of additional malicious domains
