Scam URL feed
Scam URLs pose a serious threat that is particularly prone to be effective due to human error. Such URLs look real and trustworthy but are actually malicious. This feed covers fraudulent electronic shops, investment scams, dating scams, and it also helps you detect scam URLs at the network level.
ESET ensures compatibility through using standards like TAXII 2.1 and STIX 2.1, which make the ESET threat intelligence data easily consumable across various TIP, XDR/EDR, SIEM, SOAR, and firewalls. Each of these feeds is created in near real time, and deduplication happens every 24 hours.
Scam URL feed mainly utilizes the following STIX 2.1 SDO, SRO and SCO objects and related metadata:
Example data is directly available inside the ESET Threat Intelligence portal. To use the portal without the license in Demo mode, follow the steps in the Get started guide to create an account. Additionally, see the Demo mode topic.
