The Most Phished Brands of 2024 in the DNS Spotlight

Phishers will always go after products and services with the greatest number of users to get the biggest bang for their buck.

The 20 most phished brands of 2024¹ have been named, but nothing about the potentially connected threat artifacts have been revealed yet. The WhoisXML API sought to do just that.

We scoured the DNS to obtain artifacts that may have already figured in the phishing campaigns or could be weaponized for future attacks and found:

• 3,120 branded domains, 12 of which turned out to be malicious
• Eight branded subdomains
• 14 IP addresses, 11 of which turned out to be associated with various threats
