What People Say

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.

As a consequence, we have reduced the median availability of a phishing site physically hosted in the UK from 26 hours to 3 hours, again giving them much less time to do harm. 76.8% of those were down in 24 hours, up from 47.3% before we started takedowns.

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.

- SIDN, September 2017

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.

- @SwiftOnSecurity, March 2017

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.

- The Rt Hon Philip Hammond MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer, November 2016

I've thought for a long time that Netcraft represents a real revolution in market research. Firms like Gartner can tell you what they think people are going to do. Folks like Netcraft can tell you what people are actually doing.
