I have this specific rule turned on in NextDNS. It’s sometimes annoying, but seems like a reasonable policy to block any newly registered domains as extra protection against phishing attempts.


Spamhaus et al. (corporate subscription), but same thing. If there's a noteworthy new domain, we'll check and whitelist it but otherwise silently disables phishing attempts. The one we have (which I don't know which specific lists) also detect new GitHub, AWS (S3), Azure (Windows Blob), and Google (Appspot et al.) subdomains.


As a former red-teamer, we would have long registered but otherwise dormant domains that did usual activities that is expected, like get TLS certs, and show some mail and whatnot...

It bypasses things of this nature ;-)


Yeah, I know this isn't a silver bullet, but incompetence is surprisingly (or probably not) plentiful.
