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.

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

appears to be taking root across the Atlantic, in Eastern

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.

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.

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_f
ront_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.

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 front running domains. According to

thereby preventing a registrant from purchasing it at any

domain which DNN searches such as

search to now be unavailable to register at other registrars

Anfrage von heise online mit, er rechne nicht damit, dass es
einen einzigen Vertragstext zwischen ICANN und allen

sind die Unterschiede hinsichtlich der Gepflogenheiten und
