[CPWG] Domain Name Abuse... potentially

[Michele Neylon - Blacknight]

Why would it be considered “abuse”?

If you use that term so broadly it becomes absolutely meaningless.

I’d see it as opportunistic.

There are much more serious issues to worry about. Like the real security threats that having millions of people working from home for the first time.

Subject: [CPWG] Domain Name Abuse... potentially

As the Tokyo 2020 Olympics are postponed to 2021, domain name pirates jumped on the occasion to make a quick buck.

Is this domain name abuse or domain name investment?

Kindest regards,

Olivier
