[Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] Domain Phishing

[Graeme Bunton]

One of the refrains I think we've all heard from registrars is that the 
reasons for using a P/P service are many, but very frequently as simple 
as 'less spam'.  We've also maintained that there is nothing inherently 
dubious or suspicious about a P/P registration.

The current massive phishing campaign being waged against registrants I 
think highlights these things very clearly, and the below articles from 
DNW are worth a read: 
http://domainnamewire.com/2015/10/27/domain-phishing/ and 
http://domainnamewire.com/2015/10/26/warning-domain-name-phishing-email-blast-going-on-right-now/
