Interisle Study Presented to ICANN Government Advisory Committee

On Wednesday, June 10, 2026, Karen Rose presented Interisle’s recently published study, Malicious Registrations in the Domain Name Market: An Analysis of 2025 gTLD Registrations and Cybercriminal Demand, to the ICANN GAC (Government Advisory Committee) at ICANN86 Seville Policy Forum. The GAC advises ICANN on public policy aspects of specific issues for which ICANN has responsibility, and DNS abuse has long been an issue of particular interest to the GAC.

Malicious Actors Accounted for as much as 20% of New Domain Name Registrations in 2025

A new analysis by Interisle Consulting Group finds that cybercriminals registered a significant share of new domain name registrations in 2025, representing a substantial percentage of the generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) market.

The study establishes that malicious actors purchased at least 10 percent of all newly registered gTLD domains in 2025, with projections indicating that the actual share may be closer to 20 percent.
