New policy leads industry in the effective deterrence of abuses like phishing
and spam
DUBLIN, IRELAND 7 October 2008 Afilias, a global provider of registry
services, today announced a new registration policy that makes the nature of
domain name abuses clear for registrants and registrars, and furthers the power
of the registry to take quick and appropriate action regarding .INFO domains
used for abusive behavior. This policy will go into effect on 6 November 2008.
"This policy is the result of over a year of dedicated work by Afilias to
understand and curtail the abusive use of domain names, and to design effective
deterrents," said Ram Mohan, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology
Officer of Afilias. ".INFO's tremendous overall popularity has attracted
criminals online, as do many other domains, so we are taking further firm action
to protect users by improving detection and enforcement actions."
Under the policy, abusive use has been more clearly defined and includes, but is
not limited to: phishing, e-mail spam and other types of spam, the willful
distribution of malware, the use of botnets and fast-flux hosting, distribution
of child pornography, illegal access to other computers or networks, and other
illegal or fraudulent actions. Domains that are being abused will be reported to
the sponsoring registrar, and Afilias has the option of removing them from the
DNS and reporting the abuser to law enforcement. Afilias is committed to working
closely with its registrars, legal authorities, security professionals, and
others to rid the Internet of the scourge of domain abuse."
"This is a positive step forward demonstrating how registries can take positive
actions to increase protection against security threats such as spam, phishing
and malware," said Steven Crocker, Chair of ICANN's Security and Stability
Advisory Committee. "We applaud Afilias' efforts to deter such abusive
practices."
