AtData Addresses the Rising Threat of Hyper-Disposable Email Domains Affecting Digital Trust
The Alarming Rise of Hyper-Disposable Email Domains
In a groundbreaking revelation, AtData, renowned for its email intelligence and data security solutions, has brought to light the alarming emergence of hyper-disposable email domains. According to their recent analysis, nearly 46% of all identifiable disposable domains fall into this dangerous new category, significantly amplifying the challenges in combating digital fraud.
Understanding Hyper-Disposable Domains
Hyper-disposable domains are marked by their exceptionally brief lifespans, often lasting less than a week. Their rapid proliferation poses a serious threat as they can be generated in large volumes, making them difficult to trace and block using conventional methods. Traditional disposable email domains, which typically have a longer presence, provide businesses with some leeway for identification and mitigation. The fleeting nature of hyper-disposable domains diminishes this window, allowing for swift, high-volume fraudulent activities.
Diarmuid Thoma, Head of Fraud and Data at AtData, underscored the insidious nature of these domains.
