Really clever, yet really simple […] The fact that the UK share of phishing actually went down from 5.5 to 2 per cent over the next three years is testament to its success.
- Ciaran Martin, Former Chief Executive, National Cyber Security Centre, December 2020
The strategy sets out how government will strengthen its own defences […] We will do this through working in partnership with industry - including companies such as the innovative SME Netcraft-to use automated defence techniques to reduce the impact of cyber-attacks.

One of our most effective strategies so far has had a huge impact on phishing attacks. In March, the UK’s Global share of this pernicious activity fell below 2% for the first time. When we started in 2016 it was 5.4%. This is seriously strategic innovation. […] HMRC is an excellent case study. In 2016, it was the 16th most phished brand globally, accounting for 1.25 percent of global phishing [attacks]. Today it is ranked at 146th and accounts for less than 0.1 percent.

Been testing the Netcraft toolbar, and it’s amazingly good at blocking phishing. They’re a threat intel provider, so this is a direct feed.

I'm actually a huge fan of @Netcraft's managed takedown service. They issue takedown requests for phishing sites, abusive email accounts, Google Voice numbers etc. It's shockingly efficient.

At the heart of the system is a feed provided by Netcraft, […] we've managed to cut the average time-to-live of phishing and malware sites substantially.

The hacker mindset at its best, seeing a world of possibilities where an ordinary person would just follow instructions.
