<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif">ICANN’s response to DNS Abuse is always multifaceted, reflecting the need to address abuse within the constraints of ICANN’s Bylaws and policies as defined by the ICANN community, and by obeying local law and regulatory requirements. In general, ICANN Contractual Compliance (ICANN Compliance) enforces the contractual obligations set forth in ICANN’s policies and agreements, including the Registry Agreement (RA) and the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA), the Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) provides subject-matter expertise, and the Global Domains Division (GDD) works with the contracted parties to help support the delivery of registry and registrar services in accordance with contractual and consensus policy obligations.</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif">In the case of COVID-19-related abuse, the same actors within the ICANN organization have prioritized handling of COVID-19-related DNS Abuse, working with their respective communities to help mitigate the new threats. These threats include phishing, business email compromise, malware distribution, scams, and many other types of attacks. In some cases, the criminals are luring Internet users into giving away their access credentials and confidential information with the promise that they are buying supposed cures for the coronavirus and personal protective equipment. In other cases, the attackers are spreading disinformation or infecting unsuspecting users’ devices with malware. Unfortunately, many of these malicious activities use or leverage domain names and some in the Internet community are reasonably asking what role ICANN has in attempting to stem these abuses.</span></div>
