[At-Large] [Fwd: [ccnso-members] Report on global domain name use by phishers - released by Anti Phishing Working Group]

[Derek Smythe]

Hi Jacqueline and all

Jacqueline, thank you posting this brilliant document.

Indeed many of the observations in this document highlights some 
serious issues.

I am sure the publishers would not mind me saying this; many of these 
identical issues are not only found in phishing scams, but also in 
advance fee fraud/419 scams, escrow scams, job/money mule scams and 
non-existent goods scams and other criminal enterprise.

Many of the above scams at different levels of sophistication, but 
sooner or later we note the same trends for most of them, the general 
targets being unsuspecting other internet users and service providers.

This document is a definite MUST read for anyone involved in domain 
names or hosting in any form, more so their staff and/or agents 
dealing with fraud issues.

Brilliant!

Regards

Derek
