Most Parked Domains Now Serving Malicious Content

Researchers at Infoblox discovered that more than 90% of parked domains now redirect visitors to scams, malware, or unwanted software. The malicious redirects are triggered primarily for users on residential IP addresses, while VPN traffic often receives a harmless parking page. The study identified large portfolios of typosquatting domains targeting high‑profile brands such as Google, Netflix, and the FBI’s IC3, employing multi‑step redirect chains that profile devices. Recent changes to Google Ads default settings may unintentionally amplify exposure to these malicious parking pages.
