Based in the USA and Brazil, our history is one of community spirit and dedication to Internet security that began in 2005 when a group started sharing malicious links via email.

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

Collecting, analyzing, and sharing data for over a decade has allowed us to develop an extensive network of sensors, sharing agreements, and community contributors. The result is our vast database of unique and historically rich – “intelligent” – threat data.

To respect the time and resource limitations faced by information security professionals, automated systems verify each IOC in our lists every day to ensure that our feeds contain only active threats. To maximize our data’s coverage, the Malware Patrol team is continually updating the technology we use to scour the Internet for the latest malicious campaigns.

We offer commercial and non-commercial versions of our data.
