Online criminals registered far fewer Web domains for use in phishing attacks in the first half of 2011, according to a global phishing survey released this month by the Anti-Phishing Working Group. Of just under 80,000 phishing domains reported, only 18 percent (14,650) were believed to have been registered by the phishers themselves. That figure is down from the second half of 2010, when phisher-registered domains accounted for 28 percent of such domains. The median uptimes for such scams were the lowest the APWG has ever recorded, the group said.
