  • Chapter 7: Protecting the Integrity of the Internet
    7 Protecting the Integrity of the Internet Introduction 7.1 This chapter discusses current and future initiatives for promoting a more secure Internet environment. In particular, it considers the role of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and Domain Name Registrars and Resellers in promoting greater resilience within the Australian Internet networks. 7.2 The chapter focuses on six key issues: the effectiveness of the Australian Internet Security Initiative (AISI) to detect and drive the remediation of bots; the role of ISPs in the AISI and the proposed Internet industry e- security code of practice; remediation of infected computers; ACMA‟s capacity to respond to the threat of compromised websites; ACMA‟s spam reporting initiative and the role of ISPs under the Spam Code of Practice; and e-security and the Domain Name Registration System. Australian Internet Security Initiative 7.3 The ACMA is a statutory authority within the Australian Government portfolio of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy. The 128 HACKERS, FRAUDSTERS AND BOTNETS: TACKLING THE PROBLEM OF CYBER CRIME ACMA is responsible for regulating broadcasting, the Internet, radio communications and telecommunications.1 7.4 The ACMA developed the AISI in 2005. The AISI identifies computers operating on the Australian Internet that have been infected by malware and are able to be controlled for illegal activities.2 The Committee was told that AISI has been progressively expanded over time and has attracted international interest.3 7.5 As noted previously in this report, 99 per cent of spam is sent from botnets.4 Spam email is one of the primary vectors of malware and the dissemination of scams and phishing attacks on end users.

    COMMUNICATIONS DAY 25 June 2018 All you need to know in telecoms ISSUE 5637 Afilias rolls out state-based domain infrastructure ahead of registry transition on June 30 Incoming domain name registry provider Ailias is this week inalising a series of new state- based infrastructure to support Australia’s .au domain network. It plans to transition to the new DNS infrastructure, which will be used by more than 3.1 mil- lion .au domain names, this coming weekend. Ailias was appointed to take over the running of the country's registry services in December as part of domain administrator auDA's Registry Transformation Project. The services had previ- ously been operated by Neustar/AusRegistry for more than 15 years. Ailias Australia operations manager Patrick Donaldson told CommsDay that the new system had undergone signiicant testing for the past six weeks with a range of stakeholders. He also noted that the company had done 24 previous transitions in countries around the world, includ- ing the .org global domain. Under the previous .au registry operation, nameservers to direct trafic to the correct .au web site were only located in Melbourne or Sydney. Ailias has been working to expand the number of nodes to eight, with one in each state or territory. The cost of the upgrade is $250,000 and according to Donaldson will add resilience, perfor- mance beneits and increased security. DNS IS INTERNET’S HEART: “DNS infrastructure is the heart of the internet’s ability to locate what you need and deliver it to your screen. This is why it is important to have new equipment designed to address today’s reliability, resilience and security challenges,” Donaldson said.

  • ("Agreement"), Is Between Tucows Domains Inc
    MASTER DOMAIN REGISTRATION AGREEMENT THIS REGISTRATION AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), is between Tucows Domains Inc. ("Tucows") and you, on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent ("Registrant"), as offered through the Reseller participating in Tucows' distribution channel for domain name registrations. Any reference to "Registry" or "Registry Operator" shall refer to the registry administrator of the applicable top-level domain ("TLD"). This Agreement explains Tucows' obligations to Registrant, and Registrant's obligations to Tucows, for the domain registration services. By agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Registrant agrees to be bound by the rules and regulations set forth in this Agreement, and by a registry for that particular TLD. DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION. Domain name registrations are for a limited term, which ends on the expiration date communicated to the Registrant. A domain name submitted through Tucows will be deemed active when the relevant registry accepts the Registrant's application and activates Registrant's domain name registration or renewal. Tucows cannot guarantee that Registrant will obtain a desired domain name, even if an inquiry indicates that a domain name is available at the time of application. Tucows is not responsible for any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or renewal process. FEES. Registrant agrees to pay Reseller the applicable service fees prior to the registration or renewal of a domain. All fees payable here under are non-refundable even if Registrant's domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your current registration term. TERM. This Agreement will remain in effect during the term of the domain name registration as selected, recorded and paid for at the time of registration or renewal.

  • Which Internet Registries Offer the Best Protection for Domain Owners?
    Which Internet registries offer the best protection for domain owners? Jeremy Malcolm, Senior Global Policy Analyst, EFF Gus Rossi, Global Policy Director, Public Knowledge Mitch Stoltz, Senior Staff Attorney, EFF July 27, 2017 ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE 1 In the Internet’s early days, those wishing to register their own domain name had only a few choices of top-level domain to choose from, such as .com, .net, or .org. Today, users, innovators, and companies can get creative and choose from more than a thousand top-level domains, such as .cool, .deals, and .fun. But should they? It turns out that not every top-level domain is created equal when it comes to protecting the domain holder’s rights. Depending on where you register your domain, a rival, troll, or officious regulator who doesn’t like what you’re doing with it could wrongly take it away, or could unmask your identity as its owner—even if they are from overseas. To help make it easier to sort the .best top-level domains from the .rest, EFF and Public Knowledge have gotten together to provide this guide to inform you about your choices. There’s no one best choice, since not every domain faces the same challenges. But with the right information in hand, you’ll be able to make the choice that makes sense for you.
