Publication summary
The DNS Research Federation (DNSRF) has launched a data-driven effort to measure the impact of ICANN’s 2024 amendments to the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA), which require timely mitigation of DNS Abuse by registrars and registries. Focusing on phishing and malware incidents, we analysed abuse mitigation patterns using our DAP.LIVE platform, tracking how quickly registrars and registries take action to disable malicious domains. Initial findings show that while 24-hour mitigation rates have improved slightly, rising from 13% in September 2024 to 20% in early 2025, most abuse still remains active beyond this critical window, during which users are most vulnerable. Seven-day mitigation rates are more encouraging, increasing to 55% over the same period. Notably, registries currently perform the majority of mitigations within both 1-day and 7-day windows, though registrars begin to take the lead after 90 days.
