A major upgrade for a tool helping to fight abuse and build a safer internet

I’m pleased to announce a major, significant abuse management tool upgrade, from all of us at iQ, that helps in fighting abuse and building a safer internet.

RegistryOffice adds more COVID-19 scam domain report feeds to Abuse Monitor.

We will provide these feeds, as well as our existing reputation feeds, via Abuse Monitor at no charge or obligation for 60 days to any registry operator (gTLD or ccTLD), registrar or hosting providers that desire to access.

RegistryOffice supports the “Framework to Address Abuse”

RegistryOffice supports the Framework as it provides a common definition of certain types of DNS abuse and states that registries and registrars ​must​ act upon the defined categories.
