@AdguardTeam https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/06/bad-men-at-work-please-dont-click/ & comments lists some tools that, w/ _very_ high probability, identify TLDs that are almost exclusively used for malware/spam/&c.:

There also seems to be a high correlation of NameCheap-registered TLDs w/ malware/&c, but that may be something handled better via AGDNS.

What d'y'all think?

We discuss it once internally. The problem is that "shady" does not mean malicious or phishing and blocking the TLD completely is a bit too much.

That's _theoretically_ true, but definitely _practically_ worth for its own DNS-compatible Highly Suspicious filterlist, which would/could whitelist _(very rare)_ known-good domains. I mean, did y'all _see_ those stats鈦夛笍 It's terribly unlikely this would false-positive.

The stats do not show the traffic distribution. Even .com zone is full of phishing domains, but their traffic share is tiny.

Will be reopened if necessary.
