Based in the USA and Brazil, Malware Patrol’s origins date back to 2005 when a group of security enthusiasts began to share malicious URLs via email. From this exchange, we developed a platform and infrastructure to verify and make this data available to the security community in the form of blocklists. This project grew into the collection of additional IoCs, and eventually commercial services.

The indicators of compromise (IoCs) collected by Malware Patrol are now used by thousands to protect networks and assets in more than 175 countries.

After more than 15 years of collecting, analyzing, and sharing data, we have an extensive network of proprietary sensors, sharing agreements, and community contributors. The result is our vast database of unique and historically rich – “intelligent” – threat data.
