Where registry scam sites are hosted
Each bubble is the country an internet registry recorded for the address block a listed scam domain resolves to. Hosting is rented and routinely sits in a different country from the people running the scam, so this shows infrastructure geography — not who or where the scammers are.

Coverage: hosting measured for 19,875 of 34,872 listed domains checked so far. The rest resolve behind proxy networks or returned no registry country, and are deliberately left off the map rather than estimated. A further 15 were measured to registry codes this map has no plotting point for (DM, GE, KN, BF, BA, AZ, EU, VE, ET, AG), so they are counted but not drawn.
