Commissioned by the Competition, Consumer Choice, and Trust Review Team (CCTRT), the Statistical Analysis of DNS Abuse in gTLDs study is focused on determining rates of common forms of abusive behavior in the domain name system, such as spam, phishing, malware distribution, and botnet command-and-control. The study aims to compare rates of these behaviors between new and legacy gTLDs. During this session, contracted researchers from SIDN Labs and the Delft University of Technology will present on their methodology and planned research in the coming months.
