OMG: Internet Censorship rears its ugly head! ;-) Richard From: funsec-bounces () linuxbox org [mailto:funsec-bounces () linuxbox org] On Behalf Of Alex Eckelberry Sent: Friday, February 22, 2008 6:08 PM To: funsec () linuxbox org Subject: [funsec] An APWG Panel Lobbies Web Registries to Shut Down Phishing Sites I must have missed this one. http://www.digitaltransactions.net/newsstory.cfm?newsid=1677 (February 19, 2008) A potent new technique that phishing fraudsters have started using to thwart efforts to shut down their bogus Web sites has inspired a panel at the Anti-Phishing Working Group to hammer out a new policy that would get domain registries to disable criminal sites. The new policy, called the domain suspension initiative, would shut down a site across an entire Internet domain, rather than just on the servers of a particular Internet Service Provider (ISP), says Laura Mather, co-chair of the APWG's domain name systems policy working group and until recently an executive at San Francisco-based security firm MarkMonitor Inc.
