Case Study: Malicious campaigns utilizing similar patterns
Wednesday April 29, 2026 3:45pm - 4:30pm BST
Deep dive into underlying NetBeacon MAP data, the similarities in the attack methods and advice on what to look out for in the future. Often these campaigns may lack evidence in one isolated report, we want to provide context on how we see campaigns play out across TLDs and registrars.

Expected Outcomes: Using NetBeacon MAP Data - raise awareness of how malicious actors use coordinated patterns in their campaigns, moving between registrars and TLDs. Highlight why checking associated domains is important. While the targets change, the methods often share similarities and we hope this will help registrars and registries to be able to identify coordinated campaigns.
