Oooh, New #TLDs
Who wants to shout me .quokka? Fee only seems to be around AUD300k

Oh, goody. #ICANN has announced it's opening up applications for new generic top-level domains.

All the ones added since they first started doing this - i.e. when the only generic TLDs were .com, .net, and .org - are, as far as I can see, garbage and useless.

Every single email I have ever received from a domain under .biz, .online, .shop, and all the other "new" GTLDs has been either spam, scam, or phishing.

I should just block all these TLDs completely, and any other new ones this results in.

@jtk - Checked the Whois records, and all three #TLDs belong to the same organization: Radix Technologies Inc, registered on the Cayman Island. They do not look suspicious per se. Also their references are well-known.

My guess is, they have some agreement with Namecheap, so all parties benefit. Namecheap, Radix Technologies but likely also adversaries due to this offer.

Phishing in the 2020s: Phishing Across the Global Name Space

For our phishing landscape reports, we study where phishers go to acquire domain names for their attacks. Today's segment of our Phishing in the 2020s series examines the global domain name space to see whether phishers have preferentially exploited popularly recognized categories of Top-level domains (TLDs) each study period.

.js should be a top level domain

not only would the owner get rich off all the libraries clamoring to use it, but it would also create needless confusion and possibly cause some problems, who knows

.zip was great, but I say we need more

I understand the purpose of restricting cTLDs to people with connections to the respective countries... but man it would be super cool to have bry.ie

#UK #Anguilla #TLDs #AI #GenerativeAI #DomainSquatting #CyberSquatting: "The tropical British territory of Anguilla wasn’t known to many outside those who sought out its sun-kissed beaches. That was until the generative AI revolution. Suddenly, the island of around 16,000 people became a key broker in the future of our digital lives.

In the 1990s, it was given the domain name ending .AI. Back then, gTLDs (or generic top-level domain names) didn’t go much beyond .com, .org, or .net. The only real envisaged market for .AI domain name endings was local businesses on the island. Until ChatGPT changed everything, and the market for .AI domain names exploded.

Today, more than half a million .AI domain names are registered with Anguillan authorities, who have until now used a local firm called DataHaven.net. The domain names registered include x.ai and claude.ai but notably not open.ai, which is currently held up in a long-running dispute between an individual who claims to have invented the name and concept of OpenAI before Sam Altman unveiled it in 2015—and has a surprising amount of documentary evidence to support his case."

Anyone else think the :Fediverse: #Fediverse taught you a lot of #TLDs you didn't know existed? For instance (pardon the pun), I never knew .bbc, .sucks and .international were TLDs until I came across them in my timeline as Fediverse instances.

I love how people are setting up sites and Fediverse instances with new and emerging TLDs to stand out from the usual .com, .org, .net and others. More sites should have them, especially domain hacks! :MOULE_Happy:

We have been in stealth mode collecting and processing spam reports from #SURBL, #SPAMHAUS and #INVALUEMENT for over a year.

Time to unveil the data at the Cybercrime Information Center!

Relevant links:
Spam activity is the landing page for all reporting https://www.cybercrimeinfocenter.org/spam-activity

You'll find links to quarterly spam reporting since September 2022 for #TLDs #registrars and #hostingnetworks here.

If you want to see more than the top 20 ranked operators visit https://www.cybercrimeinfocenter.org/records-repository

To give you a feel for the volume of data we've processed - and change over time, we collected 850,000+ reports in Sep-Nov2022. For the Jun-Aug2023 period we collected over 1,300,000 reports.
