Nope, I'm not Spamming a service, but ICANN sure is!

 

Two recently issued reports portray the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) as a bureaucracy that enables cyber criminals.

 

In one report (PDF), researchers Jart Armin, James McQuaid and Matt Jonkman detail how a one of ICANN's prized sponsors has ties to one of the net's more prolific sources of malware and illegal online pharmacies. It's called LogicBoxes, and over the past two years, ICANN has listed it as a sponsor for meetings that took place in Los Angeles and Delhi, India.

 

A second report issued by an outfit known as Knujon (that's "no junk" spelled backwards) details 48 phantom domain name registrars whose sole purpose seems to be the registration of addresses used in spam and malware campaigns. All of them can be linked back to the Directi Group, which has long been a prolific provider of URLs to scammers.

 

According to Knujon, the 48 registrars are violating ICANN's own rules requiring them to clearly identify their business name and business address. That's something registrars are reluctant to do when they're spewing out sites as unpopular as these.

 

Let the Beast Grow so Large, that it may begin to consume itself. Then may it be purged from this Land.
