How fresh is this?

Most of these numbers come from sources that update in real time (PhishDestroy, AbuseIPDB, VirusTotal) or update daily (Spamhaus, BGP.HE.net, ICANN compliance reports). When you click through to the source, you're seeing today's value, not our snapshot.

Some numbers are from one-off reports (WebsitePlanet's 2026 uptime test, the ICANN breach PDF, UK Companies House filings). These are timestamped and don't change unless the filings are amended.

We re-check the whole dashboard monthly and update the “Last verified” date. If you find a number that's drifted, email contact@ultahostabuse.com.
