How to Protect Against Phishy Top-level Domains, Part 2

In a previous article, we explained that risk-averse organizations routinely adopt TLD blocking as a defense against cyber-attacks.

We EMPHASIZED why this is a last resort measure and offered examples of TLDs that were persistently associated with major phishing and scam attacks in CY2025. We also describe how to make an informed TLD blocking decision.

In our earlier post, we explained how organizations or individuals could use Cisco’s OpenDNS service to adopt TLD blocking. Today, we’ll be taking a look at how NextDNS could be used to block TLDs.
