Tens of thousands of newly registered domains (NRDs) make their way into the Domain Name System (DNS) daily. But what’s more worrying is the fact that a majority of these can pose threats to users, individuals, and companies alike. Typosquatting and phishing campaigns are just a few of the popular cyber attacks that often employ NRDs, which can disrupt operational activities, lead to sensitive data loss, and result in financial and reputational damages for businesses. But what are NRDs, though?
What Are Newly Registered Domains?
NRDs refer to domains that were either recently registered or updated (within the past few weeks). They serve as hosts for new websites of just established companies or homes for already-existing organizations’ new products or services.
