Solidnames publishes faux.fr<\/a>, a new news site on domain names used for malicious purposes. Internet abuse is on the increase, with the sale of counterfeit products<\/a> and phishing<\/a> campaigns. <\/p>\n

Faux.fr deals with these different types of damage based on cybersquatting domain names<\/a>. Two main categories of news are covered in faux.fr: counterfeit marketing and phishing. <\/p>\n

News domain names selling counterfeit goods<\/h2>\n

The availability of fake products on the web increases every year. The fashion industry has always been a prime example of counterfeiting on the Internet<\/a>. Clothing<\/a>, footwear<\/a> (e.g. sneakers or boots<\/a>), jewelry<\/a> and fashion accessories (e.g. bags<\/a>) are regularly counterfeited. <\/p>\n

But fashion isn’t the only industry affected by fake products.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Toys<\/a>, medicines<\/a> and cigarettes<\/a> are also counterfeited and distributed via disputed Internet addresses. In fact, even Decathlon’s EASYBREATH diving masks<\/a> are counterfeit! <\/p>\n

The other news item on faux.fr concerns phishing.<\/p>\n

Phishing in the Faux.fr domain name news<\/h2>\n

Phishing<\/a> brings together various techniques used to fraudulently obtain personal data, particularly financial data.<\/p>\n

Once again, cybersquatted domain names are being used to send fake e-mails and create fake websites.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, the general public often thinks of bank phishing<\/a> when the newspapers<\/a> talk about phishing. On the other hand, many other types of business fall victim to phishing. <\/p>\n

Public institutions like the tax<\/a> authorities, catering groups<\/a>, telephone operators<\/a>, social networks<\/a>: anyone can be targeted by this type of scam.<\/p>\n

\"News<\/p>\n

Fraudulent collection of personal data can take the form of a fake survey<\/a> or the promise of a gift card<\/a>. Fake job offers<\/a> can also be used as subterfuge. <\/p>\n

Fake refund e-mails<\/a> are another technique used. Phishing is often based on theusurpation of a third party’sidentity<\/a>, and the subsequent hacking of<\/a> deceived users<\/a>. <\/p>\n

UDRPs analyzed to keep track of disputed domain names<\/h2>\n

Faux.fr analyzes numerous extrajudicial proceedings of the “UDRP” type to produce its domain name<\/a> news articles.<\/p>\n

These procedures enable holders of prior trademarks to quickly recover domain names that have been used<\/a> maliciously.<\/p>\n

They are issued by arbitration centers such as WIPO, NAF or CAC. As a general rule, trademarks are represented by law firms specializing in intellectual property<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Companies that are victims of counterfeiting or phishing are alerted to such damage by brand monitoring<\/a> software<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Companies such as SOLIDNAMES offer services to detect new domain name registrations using a brand name<\/a>. In the event of a potentially fraudulent registration, a specific domain name monitoring<\/a> service tracks the progress of the disputed address. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s no denying that these services are extremely useful in the fight against counterfeiting<\/a> and phishing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Faux.fr, a real domain name for keeping up with the news<\/h2>\n

Many people following SOLIDNAMES on Twitter<\/a> or YouTube<\/a> have noticed the first articles published on faux.fr.<\/p>\n

Many people have asked us how much we paid for this domain name<\/a>. A short domain name<\/a> (4 letters), in a major country Internet extension<\/a> such as .FR for France, is normally worth several thousand euros. <\/p>\n

Contrary to what many people may have thought, SOLIDNAMES did not have to buy this domain name. In fact, the domain name was available for purchase<\/a>! <\/p>\n

However, faux.fr could not be reserved immediately like any other domain name.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that this domain name is one of the terms subject to prior examination established by AFNIC<\/a>. In other words, you have to apply to the French domain name registry to obtain these specific addresses. Faux was classified as a crime-related term in the AFNIC list. <\/p>\n

SOLIDNAMES therefore submitted its request toAFNIC<\/a> and provided a mock-up of the future website. After validation by the .FR domain name registry, SOLIDNAMES obtained faux.fr.<\/p>\n

From now on, you can follow the latest news on anti-counterfeiting and phishing on faux.fr.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
