Domain Security Report: 83% of Global 2000 Organizations are at Risk of Domain Name Hijacking
Cyber criminals are always taking advantage of what security experts are now referring to as critically important security blind spots to launch domain name and domain name system (DNS) hijacking as well as other cyber threats. They reference trusted brands and products, government agencies, and health organizations through fraudulent domain names, emails, websites, apps, social media profiles, and marketplace listings. While companies have invested in security solutions at an exponential rate to protect themselves from the continually evolving cyber security threats, they remain vulnerable. Read more
General Availability for .Gay Delayed
Top Level Design, the registry for .gay, announced delays in their launch of
their new gTLD. The first Sunrise phase – intended for applicants with valid
Trademark Clearinghouse filings – still concludes on March 31, 2020. The
Limited Registration Phase (“Sunrise B”) will also begin, as planned, on April 6, 2020, for all other trademark holders. Original launch plans saw Sunrise B ending May 6, 2020. Sunrise B will now proceed indefinitely until a new General Availability date is determined. Initial hopes are to proceed into General Availability by mid-September. The first 7 days of General Availability will still comprise the Early Access Phase, and associated pricing will apply. CSC will communicate new dates as soon as the registry announces an updated plan. For more information, or to express interest in this launch, please contact your Client Service Partner.
New gTLD .dealer Announces Launch Plans
Intercap Registry Inc. announced plans to launch the new gTLD, .dealer. The launch will begin with a Sunrise phase for trademark holders on April 29, 2020. This phase will be first come, first served. Domains will be allocated at the conclusion of the phase on June 1, 2020. With the uncertainty surrounding the global pandemic of COVID-19, the registry has postponed this launch for a more stable time. The registry originally intended to begin the launch on March 25, 2020. CSC is communicating with the registry to understand any postponement and its impacts. New details will be announced when, and if, this information becomes available. If you are interested in this launch, please contact your Client Service Partner.
Top-Level .ar Domain Launch Delayed
The registry for .ar domains, NIC.AR, announced the postponement of General Availability for the launch of top-level .ar. The registry experienced technical issues processing payments for the recently concluded Limited Registration phase’s applications. The Limited Registration phase remains closed. The phase ended January 27, 2020. No dates of when General Availability would resume were announced, but the registry believes the postponement may last over a month. CSC is working closely with our partners in the region for the latest updates. CSC will communicate these updates as new information becomes available. If you have any questions, please contact your Client Service Partner.
