Today we're launching urlscan Brand AI within our urlscan Pro portal. Brand AI will visually examine websites to determine the name of the brand the website claims to represent, a more robust approach than text-based queries. Read the details in our blog: urlscan.io/blog/2025/07/3…

Apparently the tech support scam centre in India that was making the news was raided, if you haven't watched the story yet please do, tech support scam is a huge issue and it's immensely satisfying to see shops like this one taken down: grahamcluley.com/police-raid-te…

Don't be a dickhead and scrape our result pages... There's an API for a good reason. Yes, I'm talking to you, Brazilian IPs at Toolsnet and Netcel...

We are publishing our first-ever research blog-post. The post looks into a phishing campaign we're calling Oriental Gudgeon. Using urlscan Pro, we have observed it impersonate dozens of Japanese brands in the Financial Services sector: urlscan.io/blog/2025/05/0…

You might know us because we analyse millions of suspicious URLs every day and generate detections for more than a thousand major online brands. But did you know that we also track millions of newly created hostnames and domains as part of our urlscan Pro platform?

This is a pretty scary technique for faking the address bar on mobile devices, this will definitely be used by phishers unless addressed by mobile vendors: jameshfisher.com/2019/04/27/the… @PhishingAi

Good morning everyone. Just realised urlscan.io is in the Alexa Top 35k websites worldwide: alexa.com/siteinfo/urlsc… 🤯 Never thought this would be possible when I started this project three years ago. Thanks to all our faithful users!

Cool, so Google is monetising Safe Browsing as the Web Risk API. Even though I'm running a local mirror of the database which handles most of my lookups, the new service would cost me $8350 per month at my current volume. lol nope. Guess I'll have to do without.
