LOS ANGELES - The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced an upcoming virtual event on the Inferential Analysis of Maliciously Registered Domains (INFERMAL) Project, scheduled for Wednesday, February 19, 2025, at 15:00 UTC (7:00 a.m. PST; 10:00 a.m. EDT), according to the official website of ICANN. 

The INFERMAL Project, funded by ICANN and conducted by KOR Labs, is dedicated to understanding the selection patterns behind cybercriminals' preferences for specific domain name registrars and top-level domains in their phishing operations.
