    Red teamer here. We've been doing this for a long time for all kinds of evasion. Storing payloads in Azure blob storage, for example, is an amazingly effective way to deliver malware through network filtering controls.

    You can look at more of the capabilities we like to use at the LOTS project: https://lots-project.com/

    Their pie chart almost looks like part of my local DNS configuration. I have not yet blocked github.io or azure however. I built this Unbound DNS configuration file from all the AI submissions in the event I accidentally click on one before noticing the domain.

      > drweb.link."

      Considering you have ipfs.io on that list, I wonder if this is a typo for dweb.link actually?

        That is a typo, I will fix it. Thankyou!

    I bet they have an easier time getting past your blacklist filters than non-phishers.
