iThreat announced that it is working with a coalition of Internet infrastructure providers, law enforcement organizations and other anti-abuse organizations to combat the flood of fraudulent websites that have appeared in recent weeks seeking to capitalize on the global COVID-19 pandemic.

iThreat is in a strong position to help combat this type of criminal activity via its CleanDNS platform.

iThreat analyzes the Domain Name System for suspect domains that might host fraud, malware, phishing or other types of activity utilized to exploit end-users.

iThreat collects data daily, whereby new domains that reference COVID-19 are cross- referenced with known malicious actors or other patterns of sinister activity on the Internet.

iThreat then surfaces that information to the Internet community to help prevent victimization in the Internet space.
