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 of the F Root Server with the Internet Software Consortium. It might have been 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.

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

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

Additionally, DomainNameWire has a direct response from the head of PR at NSI and CircleID is citing a response from VP, Jon Nevett.

NetworkSolutions Scandal: Hijacking User Domain Searches
There has been an uproar today about a recent devious tactic being used by one of the original ICANN accredited registrars, NetworkSolutions.

Die ICANN hat zum ersten Mal einen Vertrag mit dem Betreiber eines der 13 zentralen Rootserver geschlossen. Ver?ffentlicht wurde der Vertrag mit der BIND-Schmiede Internet Software Consortium, die seit 1994 den F-Rootserver betreibt, bislang nicht. Joao Damas vom ISC teilte auf Anfrage von heise online mit, er rechne nicht damit, dass es einen einzigen Vertragstext zwischen ICANN und allen Rootserver-Betreibern geben k?nne. "Ich denke, dazu sind die Unterschiede hinsichtlich der Gepflogenheiten und der jeweils bei den Betreibern engagierten Interessengruppen zu gro?. Allerdings kann ich mir vorstellen, dass die Vertr?ge recht ?hnlich sein k?nnten."
