Can you please elaborate more? Share some links perhaps to those researchers who quited reporting phishing sites because it's just a waste of time? I'm interested, because as a researchers you have to do everything in your control to help take down those malicious sites. I will be happy to read it online (if there is one).
Here's one of the prominent ones, @JAYTHL. Disappeared and no one knows where he went:
https://twitter.com/NathanMcNulty/status/1267526318716903424Because those site hosts such as NameCheap still want things to be manually spoonfed (i.e. please submit a report through our form), rather than actively taking action against those abused sites or threat actors when the malware researchers have already spent time identifying the threat names, domains involved, hash/ files and the stages.
Thanks for the link.
However, I believed that Namecheap for example has been called out, specially when cyber actors used Covid-19 themes,
Domain Registrars Take Action Against Fraudulent COVID-19 Websites. Not just them, but most of the domain registrars that I put up in my first post.
Might take some time for them to take down those sites if they are reported, but I think they do listen.
