This is unfortunately common and realistic case. We had about 40 to 50 domain names in .ch and .li alone that where registered to operate TorentLocker. As the operators make a lot of money with ransomware, they can afford buying domain names and hosting, even if they can use them only a few days. > > A customer registered a domain and booked a web and email service.

Basicly to inform them about the malicious registrations and allow them to detect similar cases. Handing over the logs to a CERT for victim notification doesn’t make so much sense in this case as victims will most likely notice that they are infected. I think you should also contact KOBIK/FEDPOL and report the case as you are a victim. You should first ask them what data they need to investigate the case and then make your decision on handing over the data.
