[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Use Case - False registration data to appear as Facebook owned domain name

[Susan Kawaguchi]

We received a WDRP notice as you can see below.  No way to validate the information and I responded that it is NOT valid…   Completely out of compliance in my opinion.

Please point me to the section where that are in compliance with RAA 2013

The only occurance occurrance of getting a domain as OK without validation are if the Registrant ID are validated from before and no changes are done. In that case it indicates FB have validated the info

Benny,

If the information provided ticks the boxes then it's validated. Most checks are retrospective as this takes time and time is money...

As Susan mentions, all they need is a few days. At least the registrar actually conducted validation checks, many don't.

The registrar sent an email to Domain at fb.com<mailto:Domain at fb.com> which I received but I immediately responded it was not a valid registration and asked for transfer.  No word yet.

All phishers need is a few days to use the domain name.

Hello All,

Attached is a use case we run into frequently, bad actors will use valid Facebook information in the registration data to make the registration to appear authentic.
