Domeeniskämm

Veidi enam kui kuu aega tagasi suleti turvakogukonna ühiste jõupingutuste toel üks suurimaid pahatahtlike domeenide registraatoreid Atrivo (ülevaade Atrivost, PDF, 2MB). Ent kurikaeltele tuleb au anda – selmet nina norgu lasta ja endale muud rakendust otsida, said nad raskest olukorrast hoopis inspiratsiooni uue skämmi tarbeks:

Ehk siis kirja saajat hirmutatakse, et keegi on nende domeeni enda nimele registreerinud, omanikuvahetusprotsess on juba käimas ning halvima vältimiseks tuleks koheselt uuendada oma kontaktandmeid. Kirjas toodud link viitab pealtnäha maailma suuruselt teisele domeeninimede jae- ja hulgimüügifirmale eNom, kuid viib tegelikult saidile, mille kohta Firefox annab niisuguse hoiatuse:

Kui hoiatusi ignoreerida, sarnaneb avanev lehekülgki eNom-i omaga. Ilmselt kasutatakse siis “andmeid täpsustavate” domeeniomanike andmeid nende domeenide tegelikuks skvottimiseks. Viimased on küllap siis ainult kergelt pahased: näh, jäingi hiljaks…
