For those playing along at home, just an observation that as of today:

breachforums[.]info

has spun up as new on DDoS-Guard, registered through Nicenic yesterday.

#infosec #threatintel

Also, seeing dozens and dozens of garbage .top domains being spun up on pananames[.]com nameservers, registered through URL Solutions (same company as pananames), and then transferred into storm-pro[.]net. Started Monday 2025-06-24.

@neurovagrant is there anything legit or valid on a .top domain these days? It’s wild.
@jwgoerlich Not that I've seen. I block .top at the DNS level for my home network and have never encountered a need to allowlist something.
@neurovagrant @jwgoerlich I have never received a single ticket request to allow a .top domain.
@badsamurai @neurovagrant @jwgoerlich We block .top, .xyz, .zip, and .biz globally at our (rather large) org. No complaints.

@mttaggart @badsamurai @neurovagrant @jwgoerlich I CANT DO THIS AND IT ENRAGES ME

We have several clients in the biotech space that use .xyz

I'm not fucking kidding.

@NosirrahSec @mttaggart @badsamurai @jwgoerlich yeah, xyz did some great marketing to impressionable people that it could be their cheaper .com - I think maybe 5% aren't obviously malicious?
@neurovagrant @NosirrahSec @badsamurai @jwgoerlich I would still shoot for the global deny and let folks request exceptions. Painful, but the threat reduction is worth it imo
@mttaggart @neurovagrant @badsamurai @jwgoerlich This is what I am trying to push for. It just makes sense.
