Peacemaker Threat Landscape Q3 2026: Austria

678,470,938 threats blocked in Q3 2026

That is about 7.5 million blocked requests on Austrian ISP networks every day, and 22% of the 3.1 billion threats Whalebone stopped across six European markets in the quarter. Every one of them was a device inside an ISP's network reaching for a malicious domain.

What you will find in the report:

What Austrian networks blocked: malware 66%, blacklist 22%, phishing 11%, and other 1%
Three global threat domains Whalebone blocked in every market it monitors
Local threat of the quarter: a fake Rituals store built to trap Austrian shoppers

Why it matters for ISPs

Malware works in the background: infected devices contact their servers automatically and repeatedly.
Every one of those contacts is a DNS request, which is why malware outnumbers the phishing people actually notice.
Whalebone Peacemaker blocks the DNS request before the page loads, so the customer never reaches the site.

Local threat of the quarter

A fake Rituals store targeting Austrian shoppers. This domain mimics the branding of the international cosmetics and home care brand Rituals to run targeted credential and payment-card harvesting campaigns against Austrian shoppers.

Domain, defanged for safety: ritualsgleam[.]com
