Every one of the 390,323 births was scored on its name, its nameservers and registrar, and the page it served. 10,605 scored at all; 37 critical, 801 high, 1,628 medium, 8,139 low. The top 300 were screenshotted and shown to a model, which called 123 of them phishing, scam or abuse and 141 benign.

Worth a second look
Signals, not verdicts. A domain appears here because heuristics matched its name, its infrastructure or the page it served on its first day. Where a model has looked at it, that is shown as an opinion with a confidence, not as a finding. Nothing on this page says a site is malicious. Read the evidence and decide for yourself.

About this data
The census diffs the zone files ICANN's Centralized Zone Data Service publishes for about a thousand gTLDs, plus a sample of .com and .net, against the previous day. A birth is a name present today and absent yesterday; a death is the reverse. Births are probed once over HTTP with an identified user agent, robots.txt honoured, and classified by what came back. Subjects are assigned by a language model reading the page text. The risk scorer is deterministic and additive; its weights and word lists are public in the API's reasons field.
Aggregates and named rows are free as JSON: API docs. Per-domain answers are also on every domain report. Names in .com and .net are counted in every aggregate but not listed by name until the redistribution terms of that zone's access agreement are confirmed.
