New Delhi Meeting Hotels Information
ICANN has posted hotel information to help participants prepare for ICANN's 31 
st International Public Meeting in New Delhi, India from 10-15 February 2008. 
'New Delhi, similar to other international cities in high season, is expensive' 
said Paul Levins, Executive Officer and Vice President Corporate Affairs. ICANN 
and the meeting local hosts have worked to achieve lower rates for 
participants. 'This negotiation has taken some time, but we are now holding 
rooms at negotiated rates. These rates are still high, ranging from US$354 to 
over US$400, but they are cheaper than the published rates' he said.

ICANN and the Root Server Operators by Bret Fausett
On Friday, ICANN announced that it had reached an agreement for the management

a bigger deal had they actually linked a copy of the agreement. I've asked for 
a copy, and ICANN's press point person on this announcement, Jason Keenan, has 
kindly offered to hunt it down.

Reforming the DisGrace Period by Larry Seltzer
Opinion: Another step has been taken on the long, plodding path to maybe 
addressing the problem of Domain Tasting. ICANN GNSO has been studying the 
problem of Domain Tasting for months now in their usual thorough manner. I 
wrote about the study several months ago and said I expected no prompt action. 
They have gotten to the point of issuing an initial report. This report 
discusses the input received by the GNSO during the study.

Phishing at the Top Level by Larry Seltzer
Opinion: ICANN and overbearing governments are gearing up for a major expansion 
of the attack surface of the DNS.: The use of domain names in most phishing is 
relatively crude, You see a lot of names like 
www.somefreewebsite.com/~ingrid/www.bankofamerica.com/.... There's no SSL, and 
the tricky part of the domain name is off to the right. A user would really 
have to ignore the domain name and focus on the body of the page, which is 
where the real phishing expertise comes in.

Botnets: The new political activism
As the United States' presidential candidates pinball their way across New 
Hampshire on the day of the state's closely watched primary elections, a new 
form of grassroots activism appears to be taking root across the Atlantic, in 
Eastern Europe, that melds dirty pool tactics with the cutting edge of malware 
technology.

Competition May Be Driving Surge in Botnets, Spam
A price war may be at least partially responsible for the recent increase in 
spam and botnet activity on the Internet, a researcher suggested this week. The 
operators of Nugache, one of the Web's most sophisticated emerging botnets, 
appear to be expanding their network and slashing prices to customers who want 
to use it to distribute spam, according to researcher Paul Henry, vice 
president of technology evangelism at Secure Computing Corp.
http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=142690

DDOS Botnets Thriving, Threatening
U.S. researchers are closely tracking several Russian botnets that have 
hammered Eastern European e-commerce and government-related Websites with 
distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks over the past year -- and they 
worry that larger, politically inspired DDOS attacks may be on the horizon. The 
botnets use inconspicuous HTML Web-based communications to issue their bot 
commands to the infected clients they use for their attacks. They deploy the 
so-called Machbot, Barracuda, and BlackEnergy bot code packages, according to 
the researchers.
http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=142826

Storm Botnet Turned Toward Phishing Attacks
First it was spam, then it was denial of service. Now the operators of Storm 
have found a new use for the botnet: phishing. Phishers masquerading as 
Barclays Bank and the Halifax unit of the National Bank of Scotland are now 
pumping out bogus messages to unwary users, according to separate alerts issued 
by Fortinet and Trend Micro last night.
http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=142828

Storm For Rent
For nearly a year, cyber-security researchers have tracked the Storm worm as 
its malicious code spread across the Internet, drawing computers into a growing 
botnet of hijacked computers. Now, they've found evidence that segments of its 
zombie army are being rented to the highest bidder.

Storm splinters, starts phishing, say researchers
Part of the Storm botnet appears to have been rented out to identity thieves, 
who are using it to conduct traditional phishing attacks that target customers 
of a pair of U.K.-based banks, researchers said today. Two recent phishing 
attacks -- one aimed at customers of Barclays, the second at account holders of 
the Bank of Scotland -- appear to be coming from domains associated with known 
campaigns designed to build out the botnet of Storm-infected PCs.

David Beats Goliath, Dori Media International Loses Battle for Domain
Fred McCaw was a bit late to the domain market. Getting started in 1999, he 
realized all of the good english-language domains were registered. So he 
registered generic domains in foreign languages, including his native Filipino. 
The first domain he registered was Rebelde.com, which means “rebel” in Spanish 
and Filipino. Over the holidays McCaw successfully defended a reverse domain 
hijacking attempt by media company Dori Media International, which has a 
spanish language soap opera called “Rebelde”.

Google’s domain name ambitions become clearer
Ever since Google became an ICANN accredited domain name registrar but announed 
that the company doesn’t plan to register domains, rumors have swirled about 
what Google’s intentions are. After hearing representatives of Google and the 
search industry speak at Search Engine Strategies NYC last week, I have a 
clearer picture of what Google wants to do. My first guess was mostly correct. 
Google will use its status as a registrar to better mine the WhoIs database to 
knock out search engine spam and to remove “value” from expired domains.

Registrar denies 'front-running' Net registration
Contrary to claims that emerged Wednesday, Network Solutions said isn't 
"front-running" the Internet address registration process, a practice in which 
a company registers a potential domain immediately after a prospective buyer 
searches to see if it's available. In fact, the practice that triggered the 
accusation is in fact an attempt to counteract front-running, the company said.

Network Solutions Responds to Front Running Accusations
Following a post on the DomainState forum today, a number news and blogs have 
criticized Network Solutions for front running domain names that customers try 
to register.

Domain Front Running by Registrars Continues to Draw Attention by Enrico 
Schaefer
In response to accusations lodged yesterday in a post on the DomainState forum, 
NSI has issued a statement which essentially admits that it engages in a form 
of domain front running. No one has challenged domain Front Running by 
registrars in the courts, likely because the practice is new and since the loss 
of a single domain would not typically generate a level of damages to support 
litigation. But litigation over this arguably fraudulent domain practice by 
registrars is both viable and likely inevitable as noted below and further 
analyzed at this post on the Traverse Legal domain name blog here.
http://www.circleid.com/posts/81097_domain_front_running_registrars/

NSI Accused of Domain Front Running
Ari Goldberger over at the Direct Navigation Blog picked up on a story on 
DomainState.com and on DomainNameNews.com that once again suggests that people 
searching for domain availability at certain registrars are being registered by 
the registrar. The registrar thereby prevents a registrant from purchasing it 
at any other registrar other than the Registrar whose web site was used to 
check domain availability. This, from our point of view, amounts to fraud and 
domain theft at the registrar level and has earned the term domain "Front 
Running" a term picked up from illegal stock broker practices using the same 
model. Network Solutions has now been accused of Front Running domains, a 
shocking accusation given NSI's domain industry leader status.

A Better Mousetrap by Bret Fausett
So if you start from the premise that NSI has described a real problem, in 
which registrar queries to the registry are sniffed and sold by the registries 
themselves, is there a better way to solve the problem than with what NSI has 
done? I think so.
http://blog.lextext.com/blog/_archives/2008/1/9/3456528.html

A 'Reasonable' Explanation? by Bret Fausett
All the news of the day continues to be about NSI's front running-domain 
tasting service. Yesterday, I said the explanation didn't hold water. A second 
explanation from NSI (on the GNSO's General Assembly mailing list) starts to 
sound more reasonable. NSI claims that gTLD registries ("or ISPs") are selling 
registrar lookup data to third-party domain tasters, who then taste a domain 
before the customer can register it.

Network Solutions: Domain Squatter
The biggest tech news of the week isn't at the Consumer Electronics Show. While 
bloggers and reporters attend the show, one of the most egregious abuses of 
public trust has become big news that has gone largely unreported. It's not 
Microsoft as the abuser, but registrar Network Solutions.

Network Solutions Charging For Protection
Controversy is brewing about domain registrar company Network Solutions' newly 
instituted practice of automatically registering domain names users search for 
and then jacking up the price during ICANN's return grace period. Critics call 
it "extortion," but Network Solutions calls it a service to protect customers 
from the practice of "front running."

Domain Registrar Network Solutions Front Running On Whois Searches
A story is developing regarding domain name registrar Network Solutions front 
running domains. According to multiple sources on DomainState.com, it appears 
that domains searched via NSI are being purchased by the registrar thereby 
preventing a registrant from purchasing it at any other registrar other than 
NSI. As an example, a random domain which DNN searches such as 
HowDoesThisDomainTasteTaste.com can be seen in this whois search to now be 
unavailable to register at other registrars but at NSI it can be purchased

Network Solutions PR Damage Control
Network Solutions employees, including Vice President of Policy and Ethics are

from allegations of domain name front running. NSI employee responses have been 
spotted on Domainstate, Slashdot.org and Digg. Additionally, DomainNameWire has 
a direct response from the head of PR at NSI and CircleID is citing a response

There has been an uproar today about a recent devious tactic being used by one

purchased at any other significantly cheaper and more ethical registrar.
