It also focusses on domain names, whereas a lot of the other numbers conflate URLs and domains.

ICANN published a report on DNS Abuse that's one of the most interesting
of the last few years. It is based on four years of data but it also
captures things that the EC report completely missed due to its
extremely narrow timeframe. On page 5 of the ICANN report the change in
the kind of abusive registrations from October 2017 to February 2022
shows some kinds of abuse being reduced. This may correlate with a
decline in bulk registrations.

There is an economic effect with some kind of DNS abuse in that low cost
registration fees enable some kinds of abuse. The SIDN report from a few
years ago also pointed out that there was a major shift of abusive
registrations from the legacy gTLDs to the new gTLDs. That coincided
with heavy discounting in some new gTLDs.
