A couple of weeks ago, a new domain name made it's appearance on the domain name ranking of #Cloudflare. Shortly later, the company redacted the name, to avoid promoting a #botnet. Recently, the domain name disappeared from Cloudflare's #Radar. A brief check shows that the domain still exists and is active. Is it simply not resolved by Cloudflare's #DNS resolvers? Or did the company prevent that this domain name makes it into their feeds?

TIL the Tranco domain ranking data is available as a public data source in BigQuery - so you can do e.g.:

```
select
domain,
rank
from `tranco.daily.daily`
where date = date_sub(current_date(), interval 1 day)
and domain in ("bbc.co.uk", "bbc.com")
order by rank asc
```

Possibly of interest to my followers: I created a #Perl interface to the #Tranco domain list:

Version 0.02 with some more features will be uploaded later today!

@davidgerard Nice. It will be interesting to track longitudinal Similarweb data.

I noticed a few days ago that #InstagramThreads traffic has pretty much peaked on 2023-07-08 according to #Tranco.

This figure is probably still dominated by DNS requests according to Cisco, so I wouldn't rely on it yet. (I'm not even sure what domain names the mobile app is contacting.)

A research-oriented top sites ranking hardened against manipulation - Tranco

#Unit42 researchers have been tracking a widespread malicious #JavaScript (JS) injection campaign that redirects victims to malicious content such as adware & scam pages. This threat was active throughout 2022 & continued even in 2023.

They detected the injected JS code on more than 51,000 websites, including hundreds of websites in Tranco’s top 1 million website ranking list. The presence of affected websites in #Tranco indicates that this campaign could have impacted a large number of people.
