August 2025 saw a dramatic surge in phishing domains with 3,788 detected, marking a 441.1% increase from the previous month. The takedown rate stood at 67.6%, indicating significant operational success, though the mean registrar response time remains critically high at 4426.9 hours.

Outlook
Looking ahead to September 2025, defenders should anticipate continued targeting of cryptocurrency brands, with potential shifts towards new TLDs as attackers diversify. Registrars like N/A and NameSilo, LLC require escalated monitoring due to their high abuse concentrations. Vigilance against the Angel Drainer kit remains crucial to protect users from wallet draining threats.
