Every month, SpamHaus releases a list of the most abused TLDs. It then calculates an index, based on the percentage of abusive domains in a given TLD, ccTLD or gTLD.
In other words, it’s not the absolute number of “bad domains” but the ratio that determines how bad a TLD is.

The joke was to be expected! 😀
It maintained that spot in February – last time we published the SpamHaus report as well.
Dot .stream and dot .click follow, and the full list of the top 10 of most abusive TLDs for May 2017 is below:
